What's Next SF: Restoring Our Neon Signs

Since 2009, SF Shines, a facade and tenant improvement program, has supported businesses, hotels, and restaurants throughout the city. But in a new development, the program has been collaborating with SF Neon and The Tenderloin Museum to restore vintage neon signs. These neon signs promote family-owned businesses: watch how the program is helping SF's streets shine and glow again!

The Li-Po sign looks so so beautiful, it's amazing to see SF light up again!

There's an image of a lit Li Po sign in the Aug. 1956 issue of the National Geographic Magazine that contains an article about San Francisco. The overall picure is of a Chinese New Year's parade. -Tony Arioli

Great work!

[@kamiochambless2590]

This is an excellent program

[@JohnnyAce415]

A shame how many neon signs have been taken down forever. I always loved the kicking-leg on Mason or Tayler. Even if you open a busines that has an old neon sign, keep it anyway. Old clocks are cool too, on the sides of buildings.

Yea, OK. But is this gonna turn into just another excuse to raise our rents again?

[@joyceslaton233]

City government raises your rent?
