Eye Control has some nice neon cocktail glass shots.
My assumption that there's nothing worth photographing in Los Angeles has been shattered by pixpopuli.

Any ideas about the story with "Note First Name" and "Frank" being underlined?

I was in LA last week, and I have to say you came to mind about a dozen times. That town has thousands and thousands of wacky signs - just stay off the freeways, they're death.
Here's one for you. A crappy photo from the car - but "Mo Better Meaty Meat Burgers"!? You can't beat that with a stick.

It took me a while to get the "Note first name" sign. I think what you're supposed to take away from it is that Frank H. Taylor, and his son, are frank, which I suppose is a desirable quality in a realtor. Just a hunch.
I actually didn't notice the underlining in person -- just the "note first name," which was remarkable in itself.
Meatty Meat!

My guess would be that there was a competing realtor named Something Else Taylor...and Frank got tired of customers looking up just Taylor and getting the wrong person?
