Some more photos for OKC & Midwest City
Up first is the Hickry Pit on 10th just east of May in Oklahoma City. This is in the same general area as the Sheet Metal sign. The neon appears to be intact, the working status is unknown.
The Lockheed Center in Midwest City on 15th west of Air Depot owes a lot to Tinker Air Force Base. Not only the name, but the red warning light on top. I really enjoy the colors on this sign and the giant boomerang arrow. Sadly, a lot of the neon is shattered and I doubt that this sign has worked in years. Midwest City has been doing a lot of renovating so I expect this sign to be gone in a few years.
The Celebrity Club on Air Depot between 15th & 29th appears to have all intact neon. The bar-maid said that she was unaware of if it worked or not. A patron placed the age of the sign as "about 30-40 years". Placing it between 1966 & 1976. Seems about right for the style.
Uptown Center is east of the Lockheed Center on 15th. There is another Uptown Center sign on the corner of 15th & Midwest Blvd, but this one has the "save here" that makes it so much cooler. Unknown if it lights up.
Lastly in Midwest City, one of my favorite signs of all time. Located on Midwest Blvd just north of 29th is this garage mounted sign that reads "Income Tax $5 and up" I need to work up the courage to knock on the door & get the info on it. I've even thought about buying it from them but Lovely Wife would kill me.
guess who has class on wed nights so he never gets to watch LOST or Amazing
Race again? yeah, that would be me. anyway, you need to update the SFGH
site. and i love that you called the bartender a bar-maid. good times there
