On Wednesday, as I typed this, my brother-in-law was in town. He knew my husband’s favorite hamburger joint was soon to close, and, as done for past visits, Michael bought burgers to bring south, this time eight (!) of them. The sad ending of an era is no win, of course; I do have two more.
For one thing, I cleaned and organized more than I have in years. Win number 2. You see, Michael and the eldest brother are both fanatical clean freaks, complete opposites of us. Super short notice had me sweating buckets but I didn’t stress. I know both my brothers-in-law love us more than they abhor our messy home.
The biggest win happens to be on prominent display at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. Another super old restaurant closed yet their bunny sign stood for many years. Then Akron, Ohio lawmakers decided to take it down. I reached out to the museum, where the beloved bunny received painstaking restoration and now towers over visitors upon entering.

Our success made local news in Northeast Ohio. I don’t mind us not being credited, the result is rewarding enough. And we hope to do the same for the iconic Skyway sign.

Isn’t it nice when history doesn’t get discarded? Have you ever visited something like our sign museum?

That Burger Bunny is super cool, hooray for you!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the wild flowers. Beautiful. We're having cheeseburgers for dinner tonight. That and a salad. We rarely go out for burgers as hubby makes them soooo good.
ReplyDeleteYay on the sign.
Have a fabulous weekend. Hugs. ♥
You've mentioned the museum in comments and it does sound fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThe sign museum was one of the ideas for us to do while I was visiting my brother and family. We didn't get there this time, but maybe the next time I visit? We did manage to do a few other things, though.
ReplyDeleteThere is a neon sign museum in Las Vegas, NV - it's not all that big but I REALLY enjoyed it! I love stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteDear Darla, I love your photos! Cheeseburgers are always so good! I hope you are doing well, dear friend. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNever visited a sign museum, but would if one were close by. I like that bunny sign. XO
ReplyDeleteThe American Sign museum sounds like someplace I'd like to visit if I'm ever in the area.
