Capitol Bowl

I went inside to see if they would turn on their main neon sign for me. They said that the sign is not working and they will repair it very soon because the city of West Sacramento wants to keep the historical sign. The place was pretty busy. What else you're gonna do on a Friday night but to go bowing at the Capitol Bowl?

Do you ever get crazy looks from the business owners/employee's when you ask them to fire up their neon signs?

Great shot! So West Sac is interested in keeping the historic sign???!!! I heard they were getting rid of a lot of them.

This is great news if this is true.

Yes, I do get crazy looks. Yet, after I explain why, they are happy to help you out if they got the power to do so. If not, they are sympathetic for you out there shooting neon. Some just don't understand the love for neon.

As for keeping the sign, that is what the main desk clerk said that is what the city is planning to do. I think they still are going to do away with some, though. Hey, maybe they are starting to change their minds??

I've had 'em look at me odd too, but they'll usually flick them on for you if you ask. Many get to feeling a little proud when you ask, especially when asked by a sign geek like me who gets all gushy over them. (laugh)

Of course, sometimes you run into a jerk who can't be bothered. (shrug)
