Retro Sign Collection

Easy parking. The restaurant is closed, permanently. No trespassing, but you can get close enough to see all the signs. The owner happened to be there when I stopped by, so I had a long talk with him. Very nice guy.

Completely cool roadside attraction (inside cafe no longer open) - stop by even if they're not open...plenty to see!

Collection of Roadside Signs

They are closed down and there are "No Trespassing" signs out. Too bad because from the outside it looked pretty cool.

Wilson's General Store and Cafe Vintage Sign Collection

A traveling companion and I happened upon Wilson's General Store and Cafe by accident. We were drawn to its robust collection of vintage and antique roadside signs, arranged haphazardly. The signs outdoors are numerous and include painted, neon, and fiberglass varieties from long-defunct eateries and other establishments. There is even an old billboard advertising Howard Hughes' movie "The Outlaw." Colonel Sanders is also represented.
