    1. I remember Young Sign Co. I think from the 50's or maybe earlier they were one of (or the largest sign companies in the country). The CEO
      was sitting in his office overlooking Vegas when he saw a storm coming across the desert. He said later that he jumped up and said "Oh shit". Vegas was hit by 70 mph winds which took down Young's largest sign.(The Hilton, which had elevators to take maintenance crews up to change bulbs and neon.) The footer on this sign was 19 floors deep. After the investigation was complete, many sign regulations were changed across the country.

  5. The lone and level sands stretch far away. Now I have an idea about a parody version of Ozymandius.
