Gunther's, The Raven, Tower Theatre. You know what I'm talking about. I love old neon signs, the ones that move are the best

Amazing sign. And my version of dance is riding my motorcycle. Balance, grace, poise and movement.

I'm so glad this sign has survived - it is beautiful. It must be lovely to see on a rainy night.
