Brad Johnson, Justin Riede and Pete McKearnan, above, are burning the midnight oil tonight, Oct. 15 as they paint a rodeo queen at the Oregon Motor Motel at 200 E. Second Street, The Dalles.

Museum operators and floozies are back in business. The Queen of the West docked this morning at 10 a.m. and some 78 passengers disembarked for a tour of our little corner of the world. They had money to spend.

Ramsay Signs continue to install classic neon signs in The Dalles today, Jan. 14. The sign company is doing the work for free in cooperation with The National Neon Sign Museum and The Dalles Mainstreet, which procured a $25,000 grant for the signs.

Ramsay Signs arrived this morning, Jan. 11, with multiple cranes to lift four neon signs into place in The Dalles downtown core. Some alleys and side streets have been temporarily closed for the day while the work is being completed.

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.
