You should thank Julie Silliman, Manwithnoname. She was very nice to let us use her photos.

BTW — Julie asked me to let everyone know that the second to last image (the one of a dingy-looking Palace theater marquee) is a “before” shot. It was taken prior to the restoration of these marquees.

These are gorgeous shoots; I love it, just the way I remember them. Hey guys, say the word. I will fire up the rectifiers, generators, whatever… It’s showtime… :)
