One of the fun things about visiting cities is all the wonderful vintage neon.
I added these shots to my collection on our trip up to Berkeley last weekend.
Margot spotted this one in nearby Albany and we made an immediate u-turn to go back and get the picture. How could you not love the Hotsy Totsy Club? Their motto is - "Keeping Albany tipsy since 1939".
Hey, your pix of these signs turned out great! And the Hotsy Totsy Club was truly a find. It was on a mortuary-black little building with a old, battered and reinforced green front door. It must take a lot of punishment from prospective patrons trying to get in during its off hours....
ReplyDeleteErin - Well, of course - who wouldn't want to get into the Hotsy-Totsy Club?!

Erin- I love your photos and your assemblages! Can't wait to see more of your talent in person in May at Interlacken!
ReplyDeleteKari - Thanks, don't want to wish my time away, but can't wait for Lynne & Anne's workshop in May either!

We collected photos of great signs on our road trip down rt 66...this one, the hotsy totsy club, the best!
ReplyDeleteStephanie - I found out they have a website and even sell t-shirts with the Hotsy-Totsy sign on them - white with the daytime sign look and black with the neon lit up!

They conduct neon tours in Los Angeles, some vintage, some newer but no, I'm quite sure, Hotsy Totsy Club. What a find. xo
ReplyDeleteMarylinn - I know! It was a find in a million!
