Joe's Tavern
The Joe's Tavern neon sign at 25th Street and 10th Avenue. The other side of the sign looked like this in 2021.
The tavern opened in the 1940s or 1950s. It was called Joe and Mike's at the time and you can make out the "S" ghost as the last letter of the vertical sign. The tavern was seized by the city for failure to pay taxes in 1987 and it has sat mothballed ever since. The building was sold by the city to a non-profit housing developer in 2016 to building affordable housing but that obviously hasn't happened yet.
