Arent they both "Half Moon" motels? [emoji14]
Very cool KY!
Judging by the Moon depicted.... yes they are!
I missed that. Good catch.

Not a word you see used often, especially on signs.Instead of our much-beloved pizza chef, we get a thoughtful description of the food - "incomparable." Not the usual neon verbiage - five-syllable words don't make for easy sign reading. But still a heck of a sign (love the linked chains here and there providing support):

Mach 1 the Italian food field tester.would, however, like to compare his food to other Italian restaurants.

I suspect that Archie's started out as a "chicken dinner" restaurant -- a very popular road-food format in the 1940s, both for chains and independents. Giant roosters were very common signage for such places, most of which specialized in a regular sit-down table-service chicken dinner with all the trimmings, but some also offered carry-out as a harbinger of things to come. Anyone who's ever been to the "Famous Chicken Dinner" restaurant at Knott's Berry Farm in California has experienced the kind of place these were.

Even though I pushed as hard as I could on the like button, it still only resulted in the same simple "like."
That said, IMHO, the man walking would have been more effective just silhouetted and not fuzzy.
Looks like there might be a little time lapse going on there. He's not fuzzy so much as double exposed.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Thank you as that is way over my pay grade of photography knowledge (which is all-but zero) - I just thought it would've looked better.
