[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 200028, member: 468"]I don't know.... It certainly wasn't at all common to use lower case letters back then. It would be unprofessional for sure. Not like today where it's even done with proper names. :p It is possible that sign is laid out with its letters on their sides. If so it would read from the top down not bottom up. Compound all this with the probability that those are 'exposed neon' letters and that they are lit and have failed neon units either still in place or removed for repair and 'jumped out' so the rest of the letter would work.[/QUOTE]
