Nick's Famous Coney Island opened in 1935 across the street from its present location. This business moved here 1943 and this sign was built then. The plastic "Coney Island" must have been added in the 1960s. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

This former Dunes Motel has a reworked sign for the Best Value Inn. One of the plastic panels at the top of the sign was missing in 2015. It had been replaced by 2016. This motel was part of a small chain with about a dozen locations in Oregon and Washington. The former location in Portland on NE Sandy Blvd. still has the same main text panel but is missing the onion dome shapes above. A location in Hillsboro, OR is still operating as a Dunes Motel and has the same shaped main text panel. These motels and signs were built in the mid-1960s. Some of these signs featured sheiks either with or without the onion domes. There was also a location in Reno, NV. [map]

The Portland Rescue Mission was founded in 1949. This appears to be a modern sign. Around 2015, the text on the sign was changed to mixed case letters and the neon was removed from the lighthouse. The window on the lighthouse was apparently backlit originally. [map]
