Dirty Neon

Neon is 100 years old. Invented in France and first used in America around 1923 by a Los Angeles Packard car dealership. As Chris Black says on his  Available in any colour  blog ... 'Where would Hardboiled or Noir be without it ?'

     The sign was done in blue lights and kind of hung like a ghost there in the dripping trees. It swung and you could hear it creak. Just the sign and nothing else.
