Something You Really Want But Know It's Not Realistic How Many Ways Can You Spell Disappointment?

On our way to a area we visit every year or two there is a abandoned Restaurant in a Small Community we pass through.

 

The building is boarded up and looks like it has been for years .  May or may not have items of interest inside but that's not what attracts it to us.

 

Outside hanging from the front wall there is a 25 to 30 foot Vintage Neon/Light Bulb lit up sign just hanging there. It's a killer sign great design and most of the colors are still bright and vibrant. The Neon and wiring needs to be replaced and some touch up is required but if restored it would be fantastic

 

What a shame it's sitting outside in the elements  it is going to go down hill soon if not saved

 

Each time we go through this community we stop and take pictures of it. Each time the locals come out and watch us doing so. No one has approached us when we are doing this but I'm sure a number think we are nuts. We get some pretty strange looks

 

Have often thought we should try and find out if the person who owns the property would sell it but then my better senses hit me

 

Its over 25 feet long and probably weighs  600 lbs or more

 

If they said yes  what would I do with it?

 

We have a mini van, realistically we could not transport it that way would need a flatbed and even if we got one where to put it when we got home? We live in a nice one bedroom apartment. If we could get it up here we would be climbing over it 

 

So all we can do is stop and take pics (We have a nice collection of them) and then look at them from time to time and wish

 

Keep hoping we can find a way to do it but ................

 

Dang I hate having Rational Thoughts sure interferes with what I want at times

There is an active motel, which looks like a welfare hotel,  in Nanaimo with a beautiful neon sign of a tropical scene.

I lust after it every time I see it.
I don't collect neon. I just love the sign.AQQ78AWt2VaOtncsOEg6uXAF7U0RO-2QBIY7AGgMkayqH_WLBFJ5HTdhPFURCm-0YM4blQowLuem2LzxT0kgsg1qBSp5rRfKCxQZQk6cNBANV7eicE5_mR0mEaBN1OfNn7xnVqLq-Cm_F8YlN6ZbY_I79FsHvQ=w592-h404-n-k-no-v1.jpg
