The Neon King of New Orleans

They claim average household income of their readership is $550k, which for a magazine for the South is, wow. They're really targeting the regional top 1% there.

The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati (https://www.americansignmuseum.org/) is good if you like neon and advertising. They have an on site shop where you can view repairs being performed.

The Boneyard in Las Vegas is also worth seeing. It was featured in one of the Danny DeVito scenes in Mars Attacks.

"Garden and Gun"? Is this a parody?

Basically a southern American version of the same demographic that will buy a GBP 18,000 side by side shotgun in the UK.

If you happen to go to London, check Gods Own Junkyard: https://www.godsownjunkyard.co.uk/ for neon galore (and craft beer)

And https://www.neonworkshops.com/ of you're further north (Wakefield).

They even run courses in creating your own pieces.
