Neon Signage Southern California

 

Jet Stream Liquor
Burbank, CA

This beautiful neon sign the Jet Stream Liquor was (and more or less still is) located south of the former Lockheed Air Terminal. The sign depicts the very graceful Lockheed Constellation 4 engined triple tailed transport of WWII and airliner of the 1950's. Unfortunately, this sign has been bastardized, and the "Connie" altered to look like (more or less, mostly less) the single tailed Douglas DC-3. For airplane and just "plane" people, this is a classic sign that will be missed as the WWII Burbank terminal area gives way to development.

This Yahoo sign/billboard features a huge neon glow off the boulevard. The neon billboard is proving to be a real eye-catcher and sometimes hair-raising sight, especially as you drive along the freeway late at night.

Near the Roxy is another famous hot spot, the Whisky a Go Go. Word is, go go dancing was born at this place. The Whisky has been around since the mid-1960's and featured such famous acts as the Doors and Led Zeppelin.

It's always a shame to see a familiar roadside treasure disappear. It's even worse when its neon lit. Well, how being located on a historical alignment of Route 66 to boot? Well, you get the picture. The Cal Oaks Pharmacy in Pasadena was recently demolished. 03-05
