The Smakowski Bakery features this giant sign above the entrance. The business was originally known as the "Village Bake Shop". The sign was altered to reflect the new name. The white box above the "Deli" panel originally had a clock. It probably revolved. The "Deli" and "Piekarnia" originally spelled out in neon: "Pastries" and "Restaurant". [map]

Paragon Auto Leasing was established in 1960. I don't know if this sign was built then or if it was updated from a previous company. Around 2015, the two middle text panels were covered over with vinyl panels. [map]

Sorry about the angles of these photos: the sun was directly behind the sign. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

C&J Auto Parts had been here since 1950. This sign was probably from then. The sign was still there in 2016 but gone by 2018.

The Bonny's Bar sign originally came from a long-closed bar in Kansas City, MO. In the mid-1990s, it was shipped to Chicago and installed at Iggy's bar. When Iggy's closed around 2009, the sign went to Salvage One. It was then sold to Bonny's. Just a few months after this photo was taken in 2012, Bonny's closed as well. By 2013, the sign was gone. The owner has it in storage. For more, see this website.
