Not used to having funeral chapel stuff here at Roadside Peek, but this sign was too good to miss. Looks like the parts of the marquee itself may have contained working neon back in the day. Not sure if this sign is just for the parking area at W.F. Gormley & Sons Funeral Chapel.

Powder Box

The Powder Box Beauty Salon in Albany, CA features an old sign (circa 1940's-50's), which was recently re-painted, and now looks "new". Though the sign looks clean and new now, wonder what this sign will look like decades from now.
