    I remember trying Bubble Up. Couldn't have been all that memorable, because I remember trying SunDrop, which I still drink, and Dr. Pepper which really got my attention, probably in 1960.
    I actually like both of the Big boys, although I grew up with Marc's.

    That Holiday Inn made me nostalgic. On our annual road trip to Florida, we would generally stay at either Holiday Inn or Howard Johnson's. Just the sight of it brought back so many childhood memories and put a smile on my face that I suspect will last the rest of the day. Oh, and did you tune into WKRP when you were in Cincinnati?😐

    fun fact: the cincinnati 'sign' gardens sign came from the old cincinnati gardens arena that closed its doors in 2013 and ended up being demoshiled in 2018. It was a former home to the Cincinnati Royals our first and only NBA team and also hosted concerts from greats like Elvis, the Jackson 5, Madonna, The Grateful Dead and many others too being that it was one of our more prolific venues from the 50s until the 2000s!

    Hey Jacob! You mentioned the last Howard Johnsons restaurant in Lake George. I used to eat there all the time with my family while we were on vacation in Lake George, I was sad to see it close after all those years. I'd love to see you head back to Lake George soon and see what's new there. Also you could make an amazing video on the history of the French and Indian War and visit Fort William Henry. Also the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" took place all around Lake George (not filmed there) but real events took place there. And they do ghost tours!

    This was FUN. Living in rural Addison County Vermont, I don’t get to see a lot of neon or fancy lighted signs like that. We tend to lean towards simple wooden signs around here…unless your talking a chain Gas station, grocery store or fast food restaurant. Since most non chain stores are closed by dinnertime around here, many signs are BARELY lit at all. 😅

      Some towns won't allow businesses to display them. There are two rather wealthy towns not far from me and unfortunately the stuffed shirts on the town council with their noses turned up decided to ban businesses from using neon because they argue that "it cheapens the atmosphere and creates a negative ambiance". In order to get a sign permit the sign must be non-neon. It really sucks because the neon signs are beautiful.

    I do love signage, I grew up spending a lot of time around Coastal towns that used lots and lots of lit signage on their main strips.
    Neon is acctually making a bit of a comeback although a lot of it is the faux kind where its diffused LEDs (I've got a couple of examples myself) which look similar but are a bit more sturdy and less power hungry.

    On the Howard Johnsons sign the boy is ""Simple Simon", the baker is "The Pie-man". From the old nursery rhyme called Simple Simon that went, "Simple Simon met a Pie-man going to the fair, said Simple Simon to the Pie-mam "let me taste your wares". Said the Pie-man to Simple Simon "are you going to pay??". Said Simple Simon "of course I have none".... There are at least 4 other verses but this is all I can recall right now.
