great blog on the adonis. i remember so clearly watching them blow torch the neon sign into pieces and dropping the chunks into a dumpster, when it was at the cameo location. i couldnt believe it. i became determined to save it’s sister and brother- the eros and the venus. a few years later during the giuliani nightmare- i contacted the eros and venus owners and they sold me their marquee signs. they are safe for now and i will return them to one of the cities museums when they appreciate them. i illustrated the theaters for marc almonds book “the end of new york”.
hey ken- thats me in the gray camouflage shirt taking the sign down. the wilson sister sold it to me when they closed.
