Red, Blue, Pink, Black: Neon OPEN Signs

Challenge #9 in the Colours & Shades: The World I Know series. Hosted by Stormcastle.

Challenge has finished

This challenge follows the current 'OPEN' sign trend on DPR - except with my own Colour & Shades twist: all photos must have a neon or LED lit 'open' sign somewhere in them. The type of store isn't specific... can be Walmart, KFC, or Mom & Pop's Variety - as long as it has the required OPEN sign present. Now get shopping!
