Check out the La Hacienda. It
used to be the "Torch," until recently and has a gigantic sea green torch in the center of the restaurant.

The shape of this restaurant is also a throwback to the mid-century time.

Here's a nice sign for Mack's Golden Pheasant. This restaurant is located in Villa Park, IL and still features the image of a pheasant as part of its moniker.

According to the Mack's Golden Pheasant website, the business is the oldest continuously family owned restaurant in DuPage County and started up sometime in the late 1930's or early 1940's. After being devastated by fire in 1962, the Golden Pheasant was rebuilt and has been a survivor to this day.

UPDATE 11/09 : The marquee for Mack's Golden Pheasant was recently restored. The sign itself is dated inside 1936. 11-09
