Here are a few shots of the Mel-O-Creme Donuts of Springfield, IL. The marquee at the far left looks to be a bit roadside worn, as the crown above the donut no longer radiates.

(Above) The location appears to always have traffic, which is great for its roadside appeal.

(Left) Check out the logo lettering on the side of the building.

How about some Don's Donuts with its fancy multicolored arrows over in Toledo, OH. The marquee even advertises Don's as having the "world's best coffee."

How can anyone resist a friendly baker holding a huge hot donut out to all traveling by? For many years, Sparkle Shops Donuts was the place to be in Rockford, Illinois. But no more... this donut shop and its unique marquee was torn down in 2000.
