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.
