The Swallows Inn in San Juan Capistrano is an institution. A lively bar, featuring all sorts of signs and other memorabilia, it draws locals and tourists alike. Among the lively decor of the place are many neon signs, mostly advertising beer, and most (but not all) showing beer signs reflecting the cowboy heritage of the area. The neon above is the swallow that represents San Juan Capistrano.
Ok, so this neon doesn't represent San Juan Capistrano, but it is in the bar, and it's colorful and artistic, so here it is!
Now, this neon is truly original! Unfortunately someone was standing in front of it, and blocked out part of Tim McGraw's name and part of the neon surrounding the Bud Light name, but I did manage to get most of the sign. This is the first time I've seen a neon representing a specific person, Tim McGraw, the country singer. Again, it's in the Swallows Inn.
Another cowboy themed neon, with a colorful spur. Unfortunately the "L" seems to be missing, or burned out (I didn't pay attention at the time I took the picture), but it makes you sit up and take notice, wondering where that pesky L would fit!
