This sign for the Little Italy seems to be one of a more recent variety.
Now this is a liquor store sign! Pacific Liquor on El Cajon Bl. sports a bottle pouring, you guessed it, liquor! Another roadside find in the great So Cal city of San Diego.
The huge neon lettering for The Boulevard shines prominently along a major street in San Diego.
This small storefront for Chito's Shoe Repair in the heart of North Park has a wonderful animated neon cobbler elf on its front. The owners had the elf completely refurbished about 8 years ago. The elf is hammering the sole of a shoe.
This site in the "Boulevard" neighborhood of San Diego, originally housed "Frank, The Train Man's model train shop. Frank relocated his business across the street when MFCU purchased the property about 20 years ago.
Yes, it is the legendary "Mystery Liquor" store off University Ave., in San Diego. Why is it labeled "mystery?" Is it because of the "mysterious" concoctions in the 'fridges just waiting to be gulped? Or is it the "mysterious" meats on sale? Or is it because the source of this neon sign is a "mystery?" Let's leave this a mystery.

Just north of downtown in the Banker's Hill neighborhood of San Diego is the world famous (well, at least "local famous") 1st and Ivy Market and Liquor. Stop by to grab some munchies as you stand under the Lindbergh Field flight path. Not sure if this is a "liquor" store or "M.C.et?" According to an eyewitness, the vertical sign isn't sure either, alternating flashes between the two.
Another liquor store find can be seen in the Ocean Beach neighborhood off Voltaire St. Perhaps a plain sort of sign, this ABC Liquor. But retro old. Rumor states that this sign has been around since the 1940's. Fact or fiction?

Little Italy 
The credit union designed their building to resemble a locomotive engine,
complete with a wonderful mural on the rear of the building. The original
neon sign from Frank's is one of the first 'moving' neon signs if memory
serves correct. It was fully refurbished and still shines brightly every
evening.
