The Retrologist news update includes the fate of West Virginia fiberglass colossi, a vamoosed Arby's hat and a neon presentation this week I'm hosting.
The Starbucks under the steaming kettle is closing (along with 100s around the country), the company has announced. I hope that the next tenant keeps the kettle. (I believe it used to emit steam, but no more.) Dunkin would be a natural fit, but there is one around the corner.
Love the idea of Dunkin there, or maybe a tea shop of some kind, which would be really neat. If only an old-school coffee shop would appear here., like in the old days.
The Amish Couple statues that were at Roadside America were auctioned off to Creative Crafts in Myerstown, PA where they can be seen today. In 2021, they were damaged by an arsonist but restored by Mark Cline.
Nearly 100 year old Dr Pepper sign - a painted sign on a brick wall discovered in Lufkin, TX. You’ll be glad to learn that Dr Pepper is “Safe! For Children,” according to the sign.

I am so paying them a visit. (And I am perpetually amazed by the work of Mark Cline.)

I grew up on Dr Pepper so I can confirm.

Thank you for this tip! I’m a Pepper, too!
