Thanks Kelly, I know you like night shots. I recall your first posting was of light trails with your (then) girlfriend driving, and your question was..."but, where's the car?" I know you like night shots....series of star trails too. Kelly of course we have stars in LA. Some of them even wear underwear! Paris Hilton, etc.

L.A. is sometimes hazy because of how close to the ocean the city is located and blocks out what the eye might see. Plus Kelly, there are so many lights...L.A. is huge. If you ever make it out here, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Can do David. There was in the late 70's a building to go along with this sign that was ready to fall at any moment and was finally removed (due to kids, mostly). The paint on the sign has eroded (high winds, blowing sand, etc.) and has revealed it's own history of use. The enemal has held up rather well, all things considered, extreme heat being one element. My understanding this was orignally a mom and pop cafe then the rock store. I work at Edwards AFB and there are still some old timers whom I can ask for more information about the signage. The extra length of the pole may indicate (perhaps) the useage of an additonal sign atop this one.....hummm. Maybe some like "Joe's Cafe"? Ah hell....now I'm curious! I'll ask around next week! lol

BTW....ironic...I run the Sign Shop (and a few others) at Edwards. Glad this is off base! Will get back to you on this one....
