Baltimore’s Domino Sugars sign

This landmark neon sign south of the harbor was taken down recently. Pieces of it will be given to Domino employees and sold at the Baltimore Museum of Industry. It is being replaced with an LED sign. (I guess that’s a sign of the times.) I love neon (and have five neon signs in my house) but assume LEDs last longer and are more durable.

SNEAK PEEK: We all watched as each letter came down from the iconic Domino Sugar sign that’s been a part of the city’s skyline for more than 70 years. WJZ got an exclusive first-look at their new sign before it lights up all of Baltimore. https://t.co/yq2Z3kgk2K

For maker @tblatt's latest charity auctions, he's turning to Baltimore history.

Bidding is underway on a replica of the Domino Sugars sign, as the sign is being replaced. https://t.co/6W8hL1syfs pic.twitter.com/fVuBMJtUGJ
