Looking for some fresh poultry for din din? Then check out the Live Poultry shop in Illinois. This old sign has a rusted out arrow that points down to the sign that calls out fresh eggs and fresh cut up poultry.

Fancy the little chefs carrying out the huge rolling pin at the Terry Bakery. Roadside characters like these make a sign unique. This bakery is located in Ann Arbor, MI.

The detail on this marquee for Terry Bakery in Ypsilanti, Michigan sports a couple of bakers humorously carrying a rolling pin on their shoulders. Roadside signage such as this was typical decades back but are becoming harder to come by these days.

Oliver's Bakery features a vintage sign with an interesting swoop boomerang in its marquee.

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
