signs: George & Walt's

George & Walt's Bar

George & Walt's is a bar along College in Rockridge. I haven't been there in years, since before my friend Dave died (he lived a short distance away), but I remember it as a worn out place, somewhat incongruous with the rest of Rockridge (well, except the liquor store a couple doors down). Despite that, it appears to still be a going concern. Their sign gets points for not only the classy typography, but some neon and of course the iconic martini glasses.

signs: Rossi's

Rossi's Flowers

Along Fruitvale near International is Rossi's Flowers. The other sign on the building says "Tony Rossi & Sons". I don't know if the Rossis are still owners of the business or not. In any event, they get bonus points for the stylish design of their name on the sign.

Launderville

The neon tubes on this sign near Zza's on Grand are in bad shape, an all too common fate for them. At least the rest of the sign is in good shape.

signs: The Alley

The Alley

This is another classic sign on Grand. Unlike a lot of neon signs these days, it looks like it might actually still work. Anyone know?
