The Pink Pussycat Lounge opened in the 1960s. It closed in the 1980s and the signs were auctioned off. The cat-shaped projecting sign is about twenty feet tall. It is installed at a farm in Page, North Dakota. The two smaller signs which were part of the panel signs signs below are about six and half feet tall. Both of them went to private collections in Fargo. Jeff Thomas persuaded the owner of one of the signs to part with his so that he could display it at the soon-to-open bar and restaurant. He spent about $7,500 to restore the sign's neon. Frank's Lounge opened in 2015 and this sign is displayed inside. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
