Ep. 105: Can you solve the mystery of the Dancing Leg Neon sign?

Muni Diaries

Where do neon signs of yesteryear go to retire? In this episode, we invite two neon historians to tell us about their neon "white whale."

Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan are the creators of San Francisco Neon, an organization of historians, educators, and advocates for the beautiful neon signs you see all over our city. They are also the authors of the book, San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons. 

SF Neon now has evening virtual presentations about the history behind beautiful neon signs in the Tenderloin and Chinatown. There’s an online version of their festival called Neon Speaks which is in September. You can find out more at SFNeon.org.
