Burnaby's famous Helen's 'Swinging Girl' sign could soon be getting a new brightly-lit, fine-feathered neighbour.
An iconic piece of Burnaby's neon history is one wing-flap closer to illuminating Hastings Street once again.
Standing 13 feet tall, the sign was built out of corrugated sheet metal screwed to an internal armature, and was hand-painted multiple times over the years as it went through regular maintenance and touch-ups by the sign company, according to the plan. The eagle mascot originated from advertising by California-based Richfield Oil Co. in the 1920s. There are multiple similar "Richfield Eagle" signs, with at least two Vancouver garages also featuring the flying eagle in the 1940s.
