Opened in 1961, this restaurant became a local icon, helped by it's unique pylon sign. When the owner died in 2016, the restaurant stood vacant until June 2019, when it was demolished. The sign has been moved to The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, which purchased the sign from the township for $1,500 after being the only bidder.
