This sign for the Cole's Markets in Pleasantville, CA is a real neon delight. The marquee has a nice script lettering for "Cole's" contrasting with the rest of the sign, including the starburst apostrophe. Of course the neon on the sign was fully working when this photo was taken. 10-09

Check out this close-up look at the Lodi Arch. The neon lighting on the arch captures the mood of the area as dusk sets in. The California Golden Bear is glowing at the top of the arch.

It's original purpose for being built was the the Tokay Carnival, the first Lodi Grape Festival. In 1956, the arch was reconstructed after being declared a safety hazard.
