The sign needs new tubing so words next to cone are also lit – still makes you want to have one. One side is so much more weathered, great shot

Nice observation, which can be said of so many of your pthotos. Up here in Vermont, “Cree-mees” seems to be the standard word for soft-serve ice cream.

The reason that DAIRY is lit up and one side and QUEEN on the other: the electricity is out on QUEEN on the first side and DAIRY on the other — but the “out words” are back to back …. as the lit-up words are back to back. [you reverse directions when you change sides to take the photo] They need to get the electricity working on one half of their sign!

This photo feels very 1950s/nostalgic to me. Very innocent and soothing… Thank you for that.
