The Village Bake Shop of Chicago, IL is one of those signs that features a clock that doesn't seem to work. This sign is of vintage lineage though.

Update 01/06 : This sign appears to be updated with a new business that has moved in. Unfortunately the clock has been covered. Many thanks to Dennis Dixson for update. 01-06

Here's a marquee for Food IGA. The initials 'IGA' stands for "Independent Grocers Association," a chain of independently owned supermarkets which can range from a simple mom-and-pop operation, to large mega-stores offering fresh seafood and cafeteria-style restaurants.

Many thanks to William Blankenship for info.
