Garden Cleaners has been located on 95th Street in Evergreen Park for well over 45 years. This classic sweeping arrow sign was created by the Flashtric Sign Company in Chicago. Around 1996, a new owner took over and had the sign repaired so all 170 light bulbs would light up. In 2007, it is one of only five neon signs that remain in the village. 04-07
Jack Thompson Oldsmobile (Demolished)

Jack Thompson Oldsmobile was known as the "home of the Free Loaner Car". The main building's showroom only held 8 cars, but behind the service department was a 50 car indoor showroom. This rooftop sign burned bright for over 50 years. On August 2, 2002, through tear filled eyes I watched, along with former employees, mechanics and customers as this dealership was reduced to a pile of rubble. 04-07
