"The 'Campus' original neon majorette marching girl was saved when they razed the Campus, and brought out of storage several years ago and used as part of the architecture design of the remodel of 'College Grove shopping center' at Hwy 94 @ College Ave. in Lemon Grove. The giant (20 foot?)neon lady proudly spins her batton in full color at night once again! BTW,the strip mall that occupies the old 'Campus' property has some small replicas (4 foot?)in neon as part of the decor."
