Hotel Pennsylvania


An odd name for a hotel (you wouldn't want to stay there) in downtown Vancouver.
In the City Archives I discovered there was a neon sign here as far back as 1927, this one's a couple of years old.
I don't remember the old sign but when I was a kid the whole of downtown was strewn with neon.

Maybe neon will make a come-back!

As much as I am against so much light pollution, I must admit to a great fondness for neon signs. It's a complicated relationship, this love.
