I love old stuff
Trough all that I associate the neon sings with U.S.A. of the '50's, early '60's and the '80's they where popular from the '30's trough the '000's.
In Romania, they camed in the '30's and where used up to the '70's (probably with an intermisso during war and early days of communism). In the '70's Ceauşescu had ideas and they stoped using them in order to make power saving, especially starting in 1979. On the seaside, where many forgein tourist camed, they where still partially allowed in the '80's now. When I was kid, teen, young adult you could see abandoned ones in Bucharest... most of them gone by now.
Do you remember the days of the neon sings? All, not of them had the gas called Neon, but they where generaly called so. They could use different fluorescent powders or different gases or both, in order to get a certain color. In Romanian, fluorescent tubes, for home use are called popualry neoane (singular: neon), because probably of the resemblance with the neon signs.
