I Bought a Neon "OPEN" Sign Tonight for the Front Window
Now I feel like a *real* store owner :D

and 5 minutes after I put it up, a couple walked in the store, saying they were driving by and saw the "OPEN" sign so they stopped. And they bought 6 books!

:woohoo:

4. Hee
Read the thread header and for a second thought you bought the sign for your house window! D'oh!

Anyway, coo'--so is it one of those vertical ones with the oval around it? Or a different style?

18. Woo hoo!
Definitely looking up!

I handed out some business cards to my buds in the area. They said they'll check it out.

I gotta bring you some stuff I've finished, but I need to copy something out of one of them first.

:D
