I saw a church that had a marquee that said " sign broken, come inside".
Last week my boss had me put a new message on our marquee that said "
New BK Breakfast vale menu." I need to put up " Ronald Emerson Deserves
a $10 an hour raise"!

Correct, the Globe has been gone for a long time. It would seem that it has
been gone no more than 5 or 6 years?? Man, how time flys, :)

The signs are getting more conservative to me as well. A topless show was
all the rage and as risque(?). Perhaps it is us that have become more
comfortable with what goes on here. :)

The old Stardust low riser rooms have been torn out. Everything that was
seen from the winding sidewalk out front has been removed, and only the
older and smaller 10 or so floor old tower stands by itself. The larger
tower is still in skeleton form. Soon, even those will be razed. Sad.
