Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted September 21, 2016 Moderators Posted September 21, 2016 "In 2012 a Los Angeles restaurant owner discovered a neon light on his property that had been walled over but never disconnected. After 77 years of uninterrupted use, it has amassed $17,000 in electric bills." My source: READRS DIGEST, September 2016, page 100. Origonal source, as listed by the above: gizmodo.com NOTE: I have some questions about this which I will attempt to check out. Well, the dating checked out. From the 1930s to 1940, neon lighting was widely commercially available. Quote Gregory
