Also, I can’t tell you how fitting it is that the Tango society wants to restore it –and not just because of the obvious Tango billboard. The blue neon lines on the buildings were purposely designed to be of different lengths as well as at different heights from the ground. It’s more interesting from a design point of view, sure, but the concept was that the lines would represent a kind of ‘visual music’ as you looked, or drove, down Elmwood Avenue.
The blue neon created a visual rhythm… maybe even a Tango…
