Todd Bates. ❤️s old neon. Seeking signs of the past.
My latest creation! An 11” reproduction of the (1950s era) Sea Dip Motel in Daytona Beach.

The (now gone) Elephant Car Wash sign delighted passersby in Seattle for decades. This was the first image I ever posted to Instagram. Since I’m dipping my toes into the bluesky universe, I think it’s a good pic to help get the ball rolling.

Visited Lakeland yesterday, they’ve got some great vintage signs over there. Most have been converted to LED, except this one. If you want to know what the other side of the sign says, you’ll just have to see for yourself 😉 #vintageneon #florida #lakeland #roadsideamerica #signgeeks
