It's NOT neon. View it full screen on a desktop [click double diagonal arrows at upper-right corner of photo, then click same arrows near upper left corner of display, then click the '+' several times to maximum zoom; click and drag to pan around image]. Those are individual bulbs set in channel letters.

Also anyone notice in the 1920 photo that no people are around and its HD has this been photo shopped or perfect conditions?
What is "HD"? Take your photo early morning on a weekend for lack of people. I seriously see no indications this archival photo was photoshopped.
