6. Specfic Description:
To the north of the polo towers
plaza, a small lot located next to the Travelodge houses the Tourist
Information Center and Gift Shop. A long, back-lit message center
runs the length of the west face of the building along the front
edge of the low-rise building. It is divided into three sections:
The first belonging to the T-shirt mini mart on the north end of
the lot, another small section advertising for the same business,
then the rest of the sign stretching north belongs to the Tourist
Center. The first section is not back-lit yet retains the steel
raceway which encloses the entire sign. This section has a stucco
background with green channel letters reading "Souvenirs Mini-Mart,"
with green neon on the interior. The second section is separated
by a vertical raceway lined with bulbs. This section advertises
for prices of shirts in the shop. The third section, which belongs
to the Tourist Center, is dominated by red text which reads "Tourist
Center." A higher elevation building sits right behind the
front building. Assorted graphics adorn the surface of the building
advertising for free maps and discounts. A rounded back-lit cabinet
with two sections sticking out from either side hangs on the west
face of this higher elevation structure. "Tourist Information"
is spelled in red text, and the word "center" below that
in black text. Green neon runs along the width edge of the cabinet,
as well as the edges of the actual elevation of the building which
it is hung, and the painted text below.
