Description
Continuing with my mini-project of photographing these historic neon signs around various neighborhoods in San Diego, this is the famous Boulevard gateway sign along El Cajon Boulevard that in the past was a major east-west thoroughfare through the county.
From the 1940s to the 1960s, this busy road was lined with drive-in restaurants, malt shops and motels that featured many neon signs. As the decades went by the neon signs disappeared and the surrounding area fell into urban decay.
In 1989 city and local business leaders erected this landmark sign to attract new businesses and revitalize the local community.
