Georgia Dinerin Elmhurst, Queens on Queens Blvd at 55th AvenueOh hello there! Is this thing on? *tap tap* Project Neon has been very quiet lately, here, have this lovely peach by way of an apology. It’s a peach of a peach, isn’t it? It’s a slightly animated sign (the purple circles switch from one side to the other) with an odd color combo — purple would not have been my first choice to go with a peach — but the details of the peach are lovely. The painted texture and pit, the slices, the concentric lines on the leaves. Just perfect! And the lettering is a little more formal and less modern than what I’d expect for a diner, but I love it, too. It all works.This photo is from way back in 2012. I haven’t taken many photos, neon or otherwise, lately, and I haven’t been working on any projects much except the day job and Project Health. New diagnosis that I hope will help (POTS, for those keeping score), new specialists, new drugs, etc. have been taking most of my time and energy. I have a few days off from work, though, so I’ll try to get a couple of posts together to help point you in the direction of other good neon goings on and update the Project Neon website.One thing I did want to let you all know about is that the Project Neon app is no longer available in the app store, because it was going to cost too much to keep updating it for each new operating system release from Apple. That was an expense I didn’t count on, and didn’t realize would be so relentless. So I’m looking into other ways to share a curated map of NYC neon signs. Google Maps are now much more sharable than they were when I started the project, so I may just go with that, but if you’d rather see a different kind of map let me know. A printed map is an option as well, though of course it wouldn’t be as updatable. Anyway, let me know below if you have any thoughts.In the meantime, don’t forget the Project Neon Facebook page for quick links and updates, and keep following the glow! -- source link
