Here's a shot of the Lakeview sign. This grand arrow can be seen from quite a distance.
The marquee at the right stands in front of the Joyland nightclub. A country music club now, the Joyland once marked the site of an amusement park. (Info thanks to Budd Ballard)
This boot sign is at Trader Jim's in West Palm Beach.
Off the Dixie in Lake Worth is McClelland's Saddlery and large horse greeting visitors at the top entrance.
This Building was Ranches Drug Store from the Mid 50's till the mid 90's. This is at 3800 South Dixie Hwy ( US1 ) in West Palm Beach.
Columbia Bank illustrates a once popular sign motif of a few decades past. The marquee contains not just the name of the bank itself, but a visual illustration to draw visitors in.
"You'll love it at Levitz". Yes, there are Levitz Furniture stores in Florida. Sporting immense signage, Levitz is still a member of our current roadside eye-catchers. For how long? That's the question. Update : One moment it's up, the next it's gone. Levitz is now a U-haul Rental. Update courtesy Andy Callahan.
Stop by the Badcock Home Furnishing Center in downtown Tampa to either pick up furniture or check out the vintage sign.
Need a wig? Then Crown Wigs is the place for you. Especially if you need a disguise. Or if you need to see an old sign that still remains.
I had driven by the old neon Miller beer sign on Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa thousands of times, but it never really sunk in. It took a visit from a New England friend and roadside observer before I consciously realized its presence. As she so gingerly exclaimed when we passed it, “Great sign, crappy beer.” Point well taken. It may be why the sign still rises to the rooftop, but the bottling plant has packed it in.
This sign advertising Merita Bread has been above the Merita bakery in Orlando, FL since probably when this section of I-4 opened in the early 1960's. "Merita" is in red neon three stripes wide inside the metal letters. The "Bread" is yellow plastic lettering put up within the last decade by the new owners, Interstate brands. The clock has been giving time and temperature since the late 1970's, at least.
This marquee for this film store is located in Ocala, FL.
Here's a swimmer sitting atop a store called Stamie's Beach Wear in Daytona Beach. This photos shows that using roadside figures in sign advertisement still occurs to this day.
