Here neon shows its pious side in an interesting way: during the day the sign, with corbels hanging down its side, doesn’t necessarily depict a cross; only at night, when the neon defines its shape, can there be no doubt that this sign marks the House of God. —Tom Downs First Baptist Church, 22 Waller Street. 2012 photo by Al Barna, from San Francisco Neon  #vinatgeneon #neon #neonsigns #signgeeks #sf #alwayssf #illuminatesf #greatstartheater #vintagesanfranicsco #SanFrancisco #neonloversonly

The Great Star Theater was built in 1925 as a Chinese opera house. It eventually screened Hong Kong produced action films for nearly 50 years. Shuttered for the past 15 years by an owner who could not procure necessary redevelopment permits, the theater reopened in 2016 under the guidance of local impresario Paul Nathan. The multi-talented John Law restored the vertical neon sign. 636 Jackson Street, photo 2014 Al Barna. #vintageneonsigns #Neon #chinatownsf #alwayssf #illuminatesf #greatstartheater #vintagesanfranicsco #SanFrancisco
