The shoppette next to Crown Lanes used to be called Lincoln Center and it also had a tall sign next to Crown Lanes. It was so cool. On the top of it, there was a big, lit, 1959 penny. It is sadly gone. Other cool signs included the vintage Brentwood Center neon sign at the shopping center north of there between Evans and Jewell. But it was mondernized in the 1980s. If you want another great neon sign still surviving from about 1957, go to the Taco House at about Virginia and Federal. Also, the King's Court at 1000 South Federal is a cool sign but its neon is gone. The Checker sign you see in the pic was originally built as a Safeway back in the late 1950s.
