Is it enough to be Just Pizza? Not in Buffalo. This Main Street Just Pizza & Wings location has nonetheless closed. For hundreds of other interesting business names check out my book, Bizarre Bazaars, which you can buy via eBay. Linked from my bio.

Here’s an old picture of the Philadelphia Church on Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville.
Only part of the neon is currently working, though Jesus Saves still shines.

Action-packed photo was created and briefly thrived, bringing life to Pena's Automotive, 47th Street near Knox. Now a white fence. 1997 photo.

I was impressed with the Halal Guys cart when I first saw one in Manhattan in the twenty-teens. Their logo gave fair attention to both the cone and the equipment around it. The logo became a bit more refined as they expanded around the country, including to Chicago and New Orleans locations seen here. You can see hundreds more gyros signs at gyrosproject.com.
