NEON SIGNS : COME TAKE A SECOND LOOK! A history of light by PILOT, PROFESSOR, AUTHOR Dydia DeLyser
I'm going to reply to this and give you that link. But another serendipity is that during the holidays, friends were going to this party in I don't even know where it was, someplace in downtown La. Out over there. And they said, Come, come. And it was an incredibly interesting experience. And I met Didiatelizer and her partner, Paul Greenstein, and it was my first introduction to her world

Here's that link to the tour I did a swell about that focuses on a neon history of Los Angeles. Here you go. And PS. Here's that link I promised of the swell I did when I did the neon tour in downtown Los Angeles

In my research as a historical geographer, that means my research is about looking at things always in new ways or trying to. My current research, as you mentioned, is about neon signs. That's something that is so often overlooked and not and just taken for granted without being questioned. We read them all the time as literate adults

Boom. That is one of the best elevator pitches of what you do and how you come to do it. Okay. Wow. That's just the alchemy of your expertise, and your passion is so completely fascinating. So, for the layperson, let's tell a story. Can you snap a photo or or get an image of a sign that you just love and kind of take us in the rabbit hole?
