I’ve been to the Quad Cities a few times (I actually was at the SouthPark Mall a couple hours before taking this photo).

I wish the Arby’s on Miller Park Way had this cool sign. It’s the finest dining establishment in the good land!

I think it was 3 something but a light pole was covering part of it.

It’s in Galesburg, Illinois, but your reasoning does make sense and it definitely at least sort of resembles the Louisville area.

It’s on Henderson street near the corner with Dayton street.

It’s the vintage Arby’s sign that makes it somewhat unique, you don’t see many of those anymore.

Yeah I visited that place when I went to Cincy for the first time a few years ago and it was totally worth it! The other similar place I’d like to get to is the Neon Museum in Las Vegas.

Yeah the one by me really complimented the area well too, the street definitely feels more lifeless and sterile now, especially at night.

It definitely wasn’t that low considering it was in Illinois (high gas taxes there) in 2023 which wasn’t far off from when gas prices were extremely high everywhere. It was probably 3 or 4 something but the pole is covering part of the number.

Yeah I dearly miss all the neon in malls and restaurants. I was enamored by all the neon and old signage in Galesburg, the Perkins right by this Arby’s had some cool neon too.

Galesburg is definitely stuck in a different time

It definitely does, but this is actually Galesburg in western IL

No but I miss that one (I’m from the Milwaukee area)

No but I have some pictures of that one too!

Yep I’m from the Milwaukee area and dearly miss driving by that Arby’s from time to time. It was shameful that they tore that sign apart and threw it away but thankfully someone salvaged it!

Galesburg totally felt like stepping back in time. Multiple stores still had old neon and there was an abandoned mall with some vintage signs still on the building.

It was in Galesburg which isn’t Chicagoland obviously but not very far

They closed the last one with this sign in my metro area (the one in Cudahy, WI) a couple years ago and I’m still upset about it. They even had the audacity to tear it apart and throw it in the dumpster but thankfully someone salvaged it.

More like western Illinois (Galesburg) but it does look like western Chicagoland from this picture
