The Log Cabin Motel opened in 1939 as the Log Cabin Auto Court. This sign was probably built in the 1950s. In 2010, the motel was demolished. In 2012, the sign was removed and went to a private collection. In 2018, the sign was donated to the Mesa Preservation Foundation. It will eventually be put on public display with other local signs.

The Deer-O Salsa sign originally read "PAINTS" before it became a dance club and replaced the letters with "SALSA". The sign is probably from the 1950s or 1960s. The building appeared to be vacant when these photos were taken in 2012. [map]

The Lucky Cue Billiards sign has been restored since 2007. This photo is from 2012. I don't know how old this sign is. Around 2014, the sign was adapted for the Billares Silverado Nightclub. The Lucky Cue letters were changed to Billares. In 2016, the business below became the Delirium Nightclub. The balls, cue and letters were removed from the sign. For more, see this website.

This Ace Hardware sign was built in the early 1960s. The plastic faces were originally backlit. In the 1990s, the sign was badly damaged in a storm. The city deemed the sign historic and allowed it to be repaired. [map]

Roland's Market was built in 1917 as a Pay'n Takeit supermarket. In 1941, it became Roland's Market. Later, it became a liquor store. In 2018, a restaurant, using the same name, opened in the space. The pole sign was originally painted green and advertised for Roland's. It was painted over for a used car lot around 2008. It has been painted over again for the restaurant. The neon on the facade sign has been restored. Roland's closed in 2019. The space was then occupied by Pane Bianco Van Buren. The pole sign was repainted with the new name. The building now houses Tratto and the sign was repainted again. The neon Roland's letters are still on the front of the building. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

The Shamrock Farms dairy company was founded in 1922. This sign is probably from the 1950s. It may have been restored or rebuilt. I don't know what was where the digital, rectangular panel is now.

The McConnell Photography Studios was gone but this sign remained when this photo was taken in 2017. Later that year, the sign was gone.

Mr. Lucky's opened in 1966 and this sign is probably from then. The nightclub closed in 2004. In 2008, Mr. Lucky's reopened briefly but I believe it is vacant now. These photos are from 2012. In 2018, the property was surrounded by chain link fencing but the sign is still there. There was a very similar sign for the Mr. Lucky's in Glendale, CO. For more, see this website. [map]

The Egyptian Motor Hotel was built in 1954. It became the Oklahoma Hotel in 1984 and the Las Palmas Inn in 1987. The sign had been painted over for these other businesses for decades. Around 2021, the motel was renovated and the sign was adapted to look similar to the original with plastic letters instead of neon. The renovated motel reopened in 2023. For more, see this website.
