Nope...Jimmy Thackery is.

Actually, the Loveless Motel/Cafe is on Highway 100, just south of Nashville.
It's a real place with very good Southern-style food.

Here are a few 1940's signs. The nightclub/dive bar ones were incredible, made filthy joints look like palaces exuding of class.

Very Hollywood '30s Swashbuckler - had to be quite the invoice with this sign:

I love that Vegas was always turn all the way up

I was going to post this one in Vintage Roadside, but being a sign and, maybe, having neon on the large "Pineridge Farms" on the broadside of the bread, I chose to post here. I am of two minds on this one, I hate the creepy hand but love the giant bread loaf. Also, I've never heard of the brand, is anyone familiar with it?

Had to follow that ⇧ craziness up with some classic neon:

Assuming it was showing it in first run, your outstanding noir-ish pic is from 1939 when this was released:

And just to give it the right noirish edge, it's a fact that Arthur "Dagwood" Lake was briefly considered a "person of interest" in the Black Dahlia case.

Wow - cool bit of info. The case is still unsolved - right?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Yep. And Dagwood was cleared. He did, however, know Elizabeth Short, and had been seen with her not long before she died. That's something to wrap one's head around. She hung out with *Dagwood.*
