Allen's Drugs in South Miami has been in business since 1954.
We got word that the original #vintage #neonsign has been removed by the owner, Al Collazo, who has owned the store since 1984. Once an old-school #pharmacy complete with soda fountain counter, it operates as a #diner with a separate #drug store adjacent to it. Collazo sold the #prescription side of the business to CVS in 2014 so it is possible that they decided the #signage no longer fit with their branding. Unfortunately the owner is not commenting on the whereabouts of the iconic #sign which is sad because we are sure lots of places including the Museum of Neon Art @neonmona would be interested in preserving the #neon! #signgeeks #neongeeks #type #typography #font #SignCollective #ig_signage #jj_texttypographical #ipulledoverforthis #trb_ipoft_signs #everything_signage #80sixd
