Our Gaylord sleuth, Evan, came across a recent video showing some of the historic rooftop neon signs throughout Los Angeles, and of course, the Gaylord makes the cut! To see the full video, go to, https://vimeo.com/158929583. These are some stellar classics.

The article goes on to describe the restoration of these lighted crowns, through grants, at that time, with mention of the Gaylord. To read the article, go to, articles.latimes.com/1988-08-01/local/me-4956_1_neon-lights.

And please, drone not me.
