"Sparkling new!" said the old card. Not any more. The rehab gave it that sprayed-on look, and the arches make it look dated. The style above would have been dated by the 80s as well, but if the place was well-maintained it would draw enough customers - and by now that sign would be a shrine for commercial archeologists.

It's not a great sign, but it's unique. What do they have today that can't be found in a thousand other towns?
