After a long time with scaffolding covering the sidewalk of Martin Street between Fayetteville and Wilmington Streets, the Mecca Restaurant sign is now visible again.

Awesome! I’ve always hated that scaffolding. Really makes the street feel “closed down”. Hopefully this can increase traffic on this little section.

Does the Mecca sign have neon on it? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it lit up.

raleighrob – It sure does. I’ve never seen it lit up either. I think this warrants a followup post!
Great observation.

RaleighRob – The sign’s neon is lit up! While in the area recently, I noticed the top was lit up green and the bottom red. It wasn’t 100% lit, but they do appear to turn it on from time to time.
