lighted rooftop signs a bad idea

Whenever I see it, I always think "wow, that would make a really cool retro dinner".

I always thought it would make a neat retro diner as well.  With a bar of course.

Something like this?

I'd look so cool in one of those hats.

Is there any rumor of anything happening with that building?  Grizz?  Blake?

I think Public Works owns it.

It's not the building, it's neglect. That's a nice Streamline style deco building that could be something interesting.

Was it part of Bill Whites sprawling dealer ship? The whole building fits the idea including (if it's still there the Body Shop sign on the SW corner of the building, but that could just go back to when it was an independant european auto repair place in the 80's. The colors on the outside of the 2nd street side are BMW Motorsport.

Every time I've been by it was full of plywood and sheetrock.

That building is used for storage of plywood. That's all I've ever heard about it. It's an awesome building....I can think of a number of concepts that would go well in there.

Check out the whole building. It's attached to a building that goes all the way to 3rd street.

Right now, there is some old car in there as well. Who owns it?

[waterboy]

It was privately owned back in the 90's when we stored newspapers there. Really nice guy and a cool building that seemed structurally sound but outside is rough.

It's the old Safelite Auto Glass building, isn't it?

I fail to see anything wrong with the signage on that building, especially if the overhang prevents the roof sign from causing more light pollution.

That's not a rooftop sign really. The building is taller than the sign.

Plus, I drove by this one last night. Looks nice to me.

Yokozuna rooftop sign is going up right now.  I can see it from my office.  Sorry, no pics.
