<p>Two hundred and fifty signs sit in a dirt yard at 770 Las Vegas Blvd N. About thirty of them turn on.</p>

<p>The Neon Museum has been pulling signs off the strip since 1996. The yard opened in October 2012, the first time the collection was built to be seen lit. A sign company climbs the poles and puts the gas back in, one sign at a time. The Stardust is out there. So is the La Concha lobby, which is the visitors centre now.</p>

<p>A sign that has been dark for thirty years is still a sign. It just needs someone to climb the pole.</p>

<p>If I got to pick one, it would be the small one with my own name on it. Half the bulbs in the B are dead. I would fix the B.</p>

<p>Your turn: name a sign you&#39;d put back on.</p>
