Bellingham has a huge number of neon signs, as these photos attest. Key among these is the sign on the Herald building. This is among the best newspaper signs I have ever seen, and it is a landmark of the city. I worked there for more than 2 years in the mid-90s, and I just sort of took it for granted. Now that we all know newspapers are in danger, it seems a touchstone of what is good. The other signs (except the Mallard Ice Cream sign) are all on one street, State Street, and it is a fun street to drive down at night.
