Glowing work brings cranes downtown TD Monday, Jan. 11

Joe Gibson, David Benko and Jesse Yankee, left to right, take a look at the signs that will be mounted on buildings downtown The Dalles on Monday. Gibson said up to six cranes will be in operation throughout the central business core as they lift the signs into place. Gibson and Yankee are with Ramsay Signs of Portland, which is donating their services for the installation. Benko is the director of the National Neon Sign Museum in the former Elks building in downtown TD.

National Neon Sign Museum’s David Benko and The Dalles Mainstreet President Don Warren discuss the placement of a neon sign on the building on Court Street downtown The Dalles. The Dalles Mainstreet received a $25,000 grant to get the work done. To learn more about the project, see our story here.
