Heart's Coffee Shop opened in 1954 as Harvey's Restaurant. It became Heart's Coffee Shop by 1967. The sign appears to be from then. In 2023, the restaurant closed after a roof collapse. [map]

The main State Cafe sign was adapted for the Star Lounge. The sign was originally painted red. There was a small "The" panel at the top which is missing now. The bottom of the sign read "Open 24 Hours". The State Hotel sign, shown above on the right, is in the alley next to the building. I assume that it was located on the front of the building originally. Both signs are lit at night. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

The Loop Motor Lodge sign appears to be from the 1950s. The "motel" blade sign was a later addition. The "loops" around the edge of the round sign were probably sequentially lit originally. All of the neon was removed in 2021 and backlit plastic letters were installed. For more, see this website.
