The Magic Carpet Sign

On Monday, October 5, the neon sign from the closed Magic Carpet Golf property on Speedway was removed and transported to storage.  Within the next six months the sign is scheduled for restoration and to be reconstructed at a public location in the spring of next year. It took over 8 hours to remove it by the De La Cruz Neon Sign Company of Tucson.
