blondcuban commented about Fox Oakland's $68 million dollar restoration nears completion on Dec 14, 2007 at 11:03 am

I would deeply appreciate any information whatsoever, photos, drawings, etc. about the original large neon beacon which once graced the highest point of Oakland’s Fox. There is an excellent telephoto shot of it in “Theaters of Oakland” by Tillmany/Dowling.

I am trying to convince Oakland’s City Council to restore this unique and significant architectural feature, once visible from Oakland / Berkeley Hills. If you have any info whatsoever, including stories, or if you have personal memories of the beacon illuminated or not, please write or contact me.
