Villa Capri - Coronado, California

1417 Orange Avenue - While on the island of Coronado the Villa Capri sign instantly caught my attention.  I love the scripted letters as decoration.  Unfortunately, I somehow missed their other sign which you can see the edge of  at the right corner of the building.  The sign features a neon diving lady similar to some other motel signs of the era which I have seen.  You can catch a view of it at the Villa Capri website http://www.villacapribythesea.com/6.html along with a history of the motel.
