Signs, signs, everywhere a sign… at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, of course. Opened in 2005 by former Signs of the Times B2B editor and publisher Tod Swormstedt, the 19,000-square-foot space houses a glowing neon graveyard of good ol’ American iconography, touting everything from drugstores and burger joints to bowling alleys and Baptist churches. One of the building’s previous tenants was a parachute maker, so even the most gargantuan pieces—like blinking relics from the glory days of Howard Johnson and McDonald’s—stand as tall and bright as the Vegas Strip. Tickets to the museum are $15 and you should time your visit around one of the daily tours (Wed-Sat, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.; Sun, 2 p.m.). Stop in on a weekday, and you may even catch a live demo by the tube benders at in-house neon shop Neonworks.
