It was reported in the October 28, 1932 Riverside Daily Press that the first neon sign had been installed in West Riverside (now Rubidoux). Dr. S.H. Walkerdine, veterinary surgeon, installed the sign at his business in the Fort Fremont area of that community.
I bet it gathered quite a crowd, too! I wonder what people thought of it back then? (magic! witchcraft!) lol!
