Best Neon Sign

A neon sign is a static manifestation of the circus barker, drawing you in. The sign at Dust Bowl Brewing Co. gives any multicolored flashbulb-adorned display of words a run for its money. What makes our readers go “ooo” and “ahhh” is this feature stretching across the old train station in Monterey. Even if the stop was unscheduled, a circus train would pull to a stop here, first for human passengers to marvel at the neon glow that tells guests where the fun is about to be had. And then to step inside for a few beers.
