the grinder haven

Ontario, California

 

This terrific sign dates back to the 1950s, I believe. I shot this photograph in 2014; oddly, it was blue on this side and green on the other. In 2016, the neon was removed. Yes, even that wonderful neon grinder sandwich. (I revisited the sign in 2018 and took many photographs, but they just seem so sad, with all the neon gone. I've yet to share any of those shots.)

 

And, unfortunately, more destruction was to come -- it has been completely repainted, now brandishing the name of a taco shop, the new owner.
