Hurricane Katrina destroyed the original sign. A redesign then added some neon lettering and that well-known neon wave, which went dark two and a half years ago. “Hurricane Ida destroyed it,” said Picou. For Picou, getting it fixed became a priority that took much longer than expected. “It’s just been a long, drawn-out process trying to get the parts needed because a lot of these parts were old,” said Picou. Once the parts arrived, a sign company spent four days getting the sign fixed. Last week, the neon arm of Ronnie Picou was back waving to customers.
