Check out this sign for the Lucas B&B Restaurant of Dallas, TX. It's been there forever. The restaurant actually closed in the late 80's and was heavily remodeled into a Pappadeux's Seafood Kitchen. The sign was in not so good shape for awhile, but they restored it,and now it just sort of stands out in front and blinks at passersby. Probably confuses them, too. 01-06

UPDATE : The original Lucas B&B Restaurant originated in 1923 on Akard Street. According to the Dallas Observer, it was open 24 hours a day, and the founder, Faithon P. Lucas, grew his own food for the restaurant at Lucas Farms in Mesquite. In 1953, Lucas moved his restaurant venture to Oak Lawn and Lemmon avenues, where it remained open until 1989. 07-23
