Johnny's No More

Johnny's Big Red Grill sign in Collegetown is no longer "still there."  :`-(

Burn. I was a Royal Palm guy but I really liked that sign.

Awful.  That was something I hoped would stay forever.  :-(

Did it go the way of the hydraulic lab, or was it taken down because it might someday?

Do they still have the jukebox with the vinyl 45's at Dunbar's?  And Pep?

Thread drift.

Not sure about the jukebox but Pep is going strong....

No such thing in this particular forum.

And I'd be shocked if he wasn't in Albany this weekend, too.

Pep and the jukebox (with pretty much the same selection) are still there. And he will be in Albany.

You can thank the City of Ithaca Fire Marshal for the removal of the sign.

The old neon sign was landmarked and thought to be safe from removal. The rooster sign above the Chanticleer bar downtown is another landmarked local neon sign.

And it is not disposed of, just in a safe resting place for now.
The sign is not in great shape, and it is doubtful that it will be returned to it's former location.

Just so long as the jukebox isn't.  I don't give a flying @#$% about your shaker of salt.

Fix it to make it safe and hang it in the Game Room at WSH.::dribble::

And also--I believe--the popcorn machine whose oil has not been changed since 1979.  (Although the last time I was there it was off.)

No, the grease has gotten so thick that it now just completely blocks the light and thermally isolates it.

I never ate that popcorn once in the, oh say 500 times I was in Dunbars.  Common sense prevailed.  I did hear Brown Eyed Girl (ended up marrying one) and Magic Carpet Ride a few times as I recall.
