as a swollen cross shape. The middle, horizontal section being larger
and wider, than the cross member. The white cabinet is treated with
red painted text. The top section reads "Casa," the second
"Malaga," and the third reads "Vacancy." All
of the texts are in capital letters lined over the contours with
bent tubes of neon. Just below the top cabinet, two single-faced
cabinets sandwich the pole, facing north/south. The white cabinet
with white faces contains vinyl lettering. On the east and west
faces of the small office up front, channel letters with clear plastic
faces, a gold polished band around the edges, and maroon, and red
