The East Lawn features a working neon clock. Now how many of these do you figure are still around? Kinda eerie, this being a cemetery!

When you think of auto body shops, do you think of Wessler? Too bad the neon blots out the auto body lettering.

Orchard Supply Hardware, or OSH for short, is quite a delightful neon sign to see while traveling through the main drag. The colors of this neon sign make an awesome blend.

This lot for Connell Used Cars really lights up the street with its lot lights and neon marquee. Once upon a time, a scene like this was common along a cities auto row, with neon lights providing the showroom shine to the automobiles at night.

Here's ranch wear at its finest. At least as a neon sign for Cotton's Cowboy Corral goes.

Here's the sign for the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau, all lit up in full neon. Yes, an eye-catching neon sign for the wayward traveler. Hmm... let's see... we can stop at the coffee shop with its neon sign or rest at the motel with its neon sign ... or... stop at the Coroner's Bureau!
