I just returned from the exciting official lighting ceremony at the Fox Oakland. Last Thursday evening (11/29) Mayor Jerry Brown threw the switch that turned on the lights on this glorious blade and marquee. It has been meticulously restored by the craftsmen at Wagner Electric Sign Company in Elyria, OH. Several hundred cheered and gasped in amazement as the lights started to flash.

The restored blade sign on the Fox Oakland was re-installed last week.
The restored marquee arrived from Wagner Electric Sign in Ohio on Monday, 9/24 and should be installed by the 28th.
Official lighting ceremony for the gloriously restored sign is scheduled for late October or early November.
Check with the City of Oakland for the ceremony date.
