In early September I visited my old home town of Quincy Illinois and I saw they were fitting a modern digital sign into the old marquee of a theatre that I used to frequent as a child. The theatre has been closed for years, but it was recently restored and I was pleased to see they were using the old marquee and just updating the lighting. It’s great when they can keep the integrity of a historical building.
It’s a lovely solution! This modern replica still evokes the glamor and beauty of the past.
