In The Weeds, 10/6/12: Neon Cowboys and Pink Ladies

  The Denton Courthouse on the Square will host a photography exhibition of the work of local historian and former city councilmember Mike Cochran entitled “Neon Cowboys and Pink Ladies” from Oct 16th to December 31th. This is a collection of photographs of neon signs in the Southwest in the 1970′s. I’m anxious to see this because I have an “old sign” fetish myself and find it nearly impossible to pass one wherever I see one without taking a picture.

Along those lines, we have the following titles at the Denton Public Library that might whet the appetite:

• “Neon Nevada”
• Route 66 Quick Reference Encyclopedia
• Texas Curiosities
