Here's a Bob's statue that used to sit in the Montclair
mall. Unfortunately, this restaurant closed down a few years ago and Bob
went with it.

Sometimes a picture says a thousand words. This Denny's Restaurant sign has seen its end, about to be replaced by one of the newer Denny's
Diner signs. Another sign, hearkening back to a previous era, is lost.

This sign has been repainted a few times and is now a bright orange. The sign also looks great with its neon lit at night.

The Stan Kite Restaurant and barbeque is an old coffee shop that's
met up with recent neglect. The marquee itself is something to marvel
at but the location is sad and nostalgic. The Kite restaurant was built around 1957.
This coffee shop has been closed for quite a few years.
