terry's turf club
Cincinnati, OH
Terry's Turf Club was one amazing place, inside and out. It was a bucket-list shooting destination for me and was well worth the visit. Signs, signs...everywhere.
I shot the outside, both sides, then we went inside for a drink and a snack and I shot the inside, then back outside I shot some more lol
I say "was one amazing place" because it is not the same now. At least, not on the outside. All those signs you see? They're gone. From the always-helpful Roadside Architecture web site, here's the scoop:
"Terry's Turf Club displayed hundreds of signs from the collection of Terry Carter. Carter began collecting signs in the 1970s. Many of the signs were displayed in his previous restaurant, Neon's, which operated from 1988-2003. Among the signs on display in front of this more recent restaurant were eight mechanical signs. These waving signs included three chefs, two bellhops, a service station attendant, a Dutch Girl, and an Apple Annie. In 2018, it was announced that the place was closing and that the signs would be sold. In 2019, the place was sold and is now known as the Turf Club. The exterior signs were sold and removed. Most or all of the interior signs are still there."
