Sign details: This location has is a little shopping mall, and is called the strip centre since they are near the north end of the strip. Though this location has been up for sale since 2013.

Sign-specific description: This sign stand on top of the building above the entrance. It is a green base that reaches the top of the sign. On the top part there is a big green steel rectangle with yellow painted words "The Strip Centre" but the word "Strip" is contained in channeled neon while the other two words are skeletal neon. Beneath this is 3 green sign boxes that would contain back lit plastic signs, but there are no signs in them currently.
