Louis Sign Lit!
When Louis Market was sold in 2011, its sign was one of the last vestiges of Googie-dom in town. I feared it would meet an unsavory end. A local gas station operator, Steve "Bucky" Buchanon, had bought and developed the land. Thankfully he had enough sense to save the sign. He donated it to an apartment complex near the old Louis location. Good news, but I didn't know if the sign would be lit ever again. Well I drove by today and saw it lit up! Only one side lights, but that's better than nothing. Good on Bucky. As a side note - just about every car guy/mechanic I know says to avoid getting work done at his places.
