Back in the heyday of Route 66, neon signs were used for advertising everything from tires to diners. In Lexington, this particular sign was erected in the late 1940s. The white arrow on the red background pointed east to the central business district of Lexington. The sign and neon have been restored, and it is located in its original spot in town. As you look at the sign, you are reminded of the neon that once directed visitors to the main area of this sleepy little town.
