You know I like giant signs. I proved that with the giant donut signs. Likewise with signs for bowling alleys.
I don’t include the many great bowling alley signs that scream GOOGIE STYLE, but that don’t show bowling balls or pins. These do.

I showed these photos to my friend. He said “Dude!” He went to his room and came back in a few minutes with this photo:
Red Lion, Pennsylvania (July 1972)
“Don’t you remember. Red Lion, Pennsylvania. We went to visit Carol’s grandmother in York or wherever it was. A little red brick house, crushed velvet couch. Summer of ’72. A month before we came to California. We poked around. We saw the sign and you took the picture. You must remember?”
Well, I had not remembered. You wouldn’t guess that he has a great memory, but he does. What does he think of the signs?
