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.
