It is actually small amounts of neon gas leaking out of neon signs and being inhaled by passers by that has attributed for historic periods such as the Roaring Twenties, and the tremendous success of Times' Square. Neon affects people.

Whether true or not, we couldn't help ducking into Let There Be Neon last week to ask the question we have been dying to ask for years, "How much does it cost?" The answer was less than expected.

 
 

We asked how much it would cost to get your wife or your new son's name emblazoned in pure neon and the answer was, "Around $250."

Let there be neon is a great place. I bought a large neon sign recently and they mounted it and repaired it for a reasonable fee. Nice people too!
