The sign, which went dark just a couple years ago, was Crestwood Bowl was able to restore the neon with a partial grant from the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. The bowling alley celebrated the rejuvenation of the sign with a re-lighting ceremony Saturday evening, complete with music, classic cars, and some Route 66-themed cakes.
