Signs of San Jose: Now, that’s what I’m talking about 
From Highway 87, the VTA light rail, or Caltrain, this one’s tough to miss. 
The bowling alley, pizza joint, cocktail lounge, and tamaleria are all gone. A stubborn little patch on the north (right) side is all that remains of the paint around the neck of the pin. 
What a beauty. Too bad the neon never comes on. Update 2/27/06: They knocked the bowling alley down last week, and with it came the sign. Why not commemorate the occasion with the purchase of a photo print, available in a range of sizes from puny to poster. Act now!
