Well, they took down the Far East cafe sign on 18th Street yesterday. I like old-style signs that had eternal pizazz. But cities pass sign ordinances so that all the old, big great ones get trashed. A couple get a reprieve, such as Guthrie's Alley Cat. One of the signs that was executed by the sign law was Let's Eat, the huge Rancho Bakersfield sign posted by Highway 99 and Airport Drive that had a flashing arrow pointing to the restaurant. It was so garish that it was wonderful. I realize it had to go. The motel is now a drug treatment center. A new sign that could have said, "Let's not shoot up" just wouldn't be the same. Do you have any favorite Bakersfield signs which either are, or were, here? Posted by Steve E. Swenson
