Tony's Cocktails
Woodland, CA		 Tony's Motel [gone]
Woodland, CA		 Woodland Court Motel [gone]
Woodland, CA
The Tony's Cocktails sign is probably from the 1950s. For more, see this website. [map]

I assume that Tony's Motel, which is just down the street from Tony's Cocktails, was owned by the same man. The "Tony's" panel might have been a later addition or replacement for a name change. The sign was removed in 2016.

The Woodland Court Motel sign was probably from the 1950s or earlier. The panels were previously painted red. The sign was removed in 2012. It is now in a private collection. For more, see this website.

The Little Orchids Restaurant sign is probably from the 1960s or 1970s. In 2019, the restaurant closed. The sign was repainted and adapted for the new tenant, the Fork & Spoon, Cuisine of the Philippines. Around 2022, the sign was adapted again for Maru Ramen. [map]

This photo of the Town Pump sign is from 2008. By 2013, the business and sign were gone. For more, see this website.
