All of a sudden, neon signs seem really cool. Slightly retro and when mixed with the right font and color, it feels hip and modern. Love these two from San Diego restaurants El Camino & Roseville. Happy weekend all!

i love the sign and the decor at the el camino. it's in my hood, but the food stinks. i hate it when the cover is better than the book.

I live 4 houses down from El Camino, and everytime I walk by I still look at the sign. They've done a great job with the decor for this place, everytime I've got a friend over I force them to go inside and take a look. The food can be hit or miss but I am a sucker for their Michilada's with tangly lime/chile salt rim (sorry for the poor vocab)! I love your blog and I can't believe I just now realized your in SD too!
