There are a lot of places to park and walk over to the sign. It appears the "restoration" was a bit sloppy, in that the white paint of the lettering is quite ragged. However it's nice to see it still there.

It was a rainy day in June and I had just taken in the World's Largest Ketchup Bottle down the road. I had read somewhere about this original sign in downtown Collinsville. Apparently it was unaltered until [1999], when the building's owner wanted it restored. Be a good visitor and leave it alone, it's managed to last this long!
