That Sign at Night

 

Last year I did a post about this cute little deli on Central Avenue in Phoenix. There was some discussion about whether that big sign on top of the building lit up at night.  Well, it's a year later and I finally found myself near the shop after dark and when I saw that sign all lit up, I just had to get a photo.

I met some friends Sunday evening for dinner at a new restaurant that happens to be across the street from this deli.  We got to talking about the deli and how long it's been there which turns out to be since 1949.  

I learned that the shop is currently undergoing a major remodel inside and out.  The man who made that sign on top has been retired for a number of years but he is coming out of retirement to work on the sign and give it a facelift.  

I will have to make a point of going there after the remodel is all done. That will be fun.  I haven't been inside for a very long time.

Wow...that deli is 76 year old! Hope it has many more years of business. That sign is very cool and it is an art to repair old signs.

Like a moth to a flame, I would be attracted to that deli.
