With a flick of the switch … April 5, 2009

… Redforkhippie saw the distinctive neon sign at the Rock Cafe in Stroud, Okla., fire to life again many months after it was snuffed out by a fire in the restaurant.
She saw the neon sign lit on Friday afternoon, thanks to David Burke, who is supervising the restoration of the historic Route 66 restaurant. He gave her a tour of the reconstruction and offered to briefly turn on the sign.
The sign glowing red and green seems like a small thing. But after that devastating fire in May 2008, any little restoration of the Rock’s old glory is cause for celebration.
It also served to remind us that the reopening of the Rock is a mere seven weeks away.
