although this sign probably doesn't really do much anymore, at some point it had some neon lights shining from it. it was found just east of pasadena in azusa, ca - nicknamed the canyon city - hence the name of the liquor store.
for those who are new to this blog, friday is typically a day to showcase neon from around pasadena. you can see past entries right here.

this was a popular design oh...35 years+ ago in the area. I can recall several liquor stores with this style sign. I can also recall several other stores with similar styled signage.
I am guessing the store can't afford to take it down, or fix it up and it hasn't fallen down yet, so might as well leave it!
oh nice sign!
Ben, I love these old Googie style signs. Growing up in So Cal, they were a huge part of my childhood landscape. I'm so glad to see you feature these. I like your idea of signs on Friday. Have a great start to the weekend!

Thank you all for your comments! I just noticed that this picture is a little out of focus. Maybe I can snag a better one someday.
I should get to Azuza more often.
