You need to have a really awesome sign to let everyone know your place is a coffee shop, a dining room, and a cocktail lounge. The Tropics neon sign does just that! Unfortunately the establishment no longer exists and a McDonald's has taken its place, but the landmark Route 66 sign still stands tall and was recently restored to its original glory.
