Seen below is the marquee for the Lariat Motel of Fallon,
NV. Check out the detail on this fine sign. Best of all, this animated
cowboy still glows at night. Or at least it used to glow, at least since the 1950's.
Unfortunately, the sign no longer stands as the motel was razed on February 9, 2005. Fortunately, the Lariat sign was moved to be reinstalled at the Oats Park Arts Center.
