Our swell friends at Oklahoma Modern sent us this neat video from the re-lighting of the vintage neon sign for El Rancho Grande Restaurant in Tulsa Oklahoma. They write:
El Rancho Grande is a local fixture here in Tulsa, having been in their current location on Old Route 66 since 1953. A few weeks back they decided to spruce up their vintage sign that hangs on front of the building. Last night we dropped in for a “lights on” ceremony as they fired it up for the first time. The get-together was sponsored by Modern Tulsa and I was happily surprised by the attendance.
You can see a “before” photo of the vintage sign here and The Oklahoma Mods say the restaurant is OK too. Thanks you guys, you’re more than OK in my book!

Some very interesting points raised here, which has got me thinking!
