Often there are rotating public art installations which are pretty awesome. This summer these old neon signs from former local landmarks were on display. Relics from the state's past became art in the modern age!
The Siesta Motel in Saugus c. 1950s
Bay State Auto Spring in Roxbury c. 1965
European Resturant in Boston c. 1970s
Flying Yankee Restaurant in Auburn c. 1953
State Line Potato Chips in Wilbraham c. 1950s
Fontaine's Resutrant in West Roxbury c. 1952
Cycle Center in Natick c. 1956
General Electic Radio in Roxbury c. 1925
Pretty cool to be able to see some pieces of local history, all together!
They really don't make 'em like they used to, that's for sure.

Oh, wow! What a cool art display!! This is fun.
I have been to Boston many times, but have never been on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I will have to look it up next time I go. Great photos of the old neon signs!
...WOW, what a collection of neat signs!!!
Such a cool display and all that rust only adds to the charm!
What a fun blast from the past!
How cool! We have an old motel sign in our county museum, but I love the idea of an art display of them!
That is VERY cool! Reminds of me of a place called the boneyard in Vegas - which is the neon sign museum - it's neat to see history that way.
What a cool art display!
Holy Cow, those are so super cool. I would love to see that. Very nice. Thanks for sharing this. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.
I just love neon sighs, especially old ones!
Love the neon sign collection - reminds me of my childhood.
