Vintage Neon, NoHo Circus Clown Sign

Posted on April 18, 2014April 23, 2022 by L1OTB

So lots of Valley folk have seen this old neon sign blazing away in the night . . . this grinning clown is the stuff of dreams or nightmares . . . you decide! Anyway, the Circus Liquor clown, located at 5600 Vineland in North Hollywood is def a local neon classic.

Bonus, couldn’t resist including this shot of a giant flea posing for his DeMille shot a little further down the street. It’s a circus out there, indeed.
