Look at the potential in that faded beauty
All that's left of the North Star Twin theater in Ogden, Utah is the marquee, and that doesn't look like it'll last much longer. The new houses on the lot are already roofed, sheathed, and the curbs for the new street look very new. In fact, I couldn't quite figure why the sign is still there at all. Peeling paint, dangling neon tubes, broken bulbs. A minor tragedy in the scheme of things, but it makes me sad nonetheless.
I want it. I want to rescue it, and all the others. I love neon. I want to ranch neon. Neon is compatible with my other dream - keeping donkeys. A small herd, to carry my gear. Because donkeys are social creatures, I wouldn't dream of having just one. Same with neon - it needs like companions. The donkeys can graze under the neon. The neon can be restored to its former glory - just look at what they did in Albuqurque.
In the 21st century, audacious plans begin with "can I get the URL?" And the answer is YES, I now own neonranch.com and neonranch.org.
