Neon of Porland Oregon

7Up Mod Building and Sign        7Up Neon Sign          Neon Luggage

I thought Omaha had great neon but Portland Oregon is filled with great old neon signs.  I didn’t have the time, a car (used public transit) or a tri pod to capture this neon at night.  However, Portland must clearly be the neon capital of the US or at the very least the North West.  Look at the 7 Up building in the photo.  I didn’t see this until I got home and looked at the photo.  The curving corner of the building almost looks like it has 2 eyes and a yawning mouth.  Wonderful old guilding very close to the triangle made by Burnside Street and Sandy Blvd in NE Portland.
