Yesterday you saw one side of this great neon sign; here's the flip side. Dirk Arnold, the artist, really captures the flavor of the heyday of the neon sign as a tourist attraction. This big cactus is a fun beacon on Oracle Road at Drachman (where the roundabout was).
Thank you so much for the work you do on this site, love it. The pics and trivia are fantastic. I wandered down to Tucson from Alaska this past winter for the first- it surely wont be the last. I love the sense of community and the history of the place.
