This great sign used to be located at 2801 Wagon Wheel Rd. in Oxnard, CA. Alas, it's been torn down and is no longer there.

As of this posting in December 2021, the bowling alley was demolished, and a new development will be going up in its place. But they are apparently keeping this amazing Googie masterpiece.
