I speak of the big red arrow at North High Street and Morse Road.
“A beacon for the community,” says Paul Da Silva, who celebrates it and other neon masterpieces in photos at columbusneon.blogspot.com and on Instagram.
I asked him for his thoughts on the arrow sign after news broke this month that Tee Jaye’s, the restaurant it so emphatically advertises, would close in May after 29 years. (The company will still have seven other Tee Jaye’s restaurants in central Ohio.)
Da Silva sees the free-standing sign as a gateway, for both Clintonville and the Morse Road commercial strip.
