I love history, but I distrust nostalgia, so it was with unexpected delight that I happened onto this sign at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. The sign, or one very much like it, stood along Bel Air Road, in Fallston, Maryland, for decades. I don't know if it brought in any business, but it delighted several generations of kids, including my own. Maybe a little nostalgia's not such a bad thing after all.

I had the same reaction as you! As a kid it was actually a 'big deal' to drive up from Perry Hall to Bel Air (a long drive to me back then) and get to see the moving neon sign. That was pretty high tech in 1969! Two years ago my wife and I hit the Museum of Industry in Balto. and there it was much to my nostalgic delight!!
btw I really love your site! A fellow Fallstonian....

It's just one of those things you don't know you missed until you see it again.
Glad you like the blog & thanx for saying so.
