H&C

But somehow I remember this as JFG. Hummm

Well I am away from my computer so this is just a temp image till I can get home and do all I want to do to this one.

Roanoke loves it's neon signs.

There is a little bit of story and controversy over this sign in Roanoke.

Here is the story. http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/wb/xp-40833

And here is the controversy. http://search.roanoke.com/dtSearch/dtisapi6.dll?cmd=getdoc&DocId=2350&Index=C%3a%5cProgram%20Files%5cdtSearch%20Developer%5cUserData%5cRoanoke%2ecom&HitCount=20&hits=3+4+70+71+b5+b6+37f+380+3b2+3b3+462+463+734+735+77b+77c+7b9+7ba+9b5+9b6+&SearchForm=C%3a%5cInetpub%5csearch%2eroanoke%2ecom%5cindex%5fform%2ehtml

So they are going to build a new art museum with a "modern look" in a aged historic part of downtown Roanoke. This link has some concept photos of the new musuem with will be on the same street directly across from this sign. Some have called it "The wreckage of the flying nun." Take a look here. http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/xp-20425

This is a great shot! Love the effect of the wet pavement and the blurred lights as well as the N&S building. Nice overall composition. You did Roanoke proud!
