A sunny weekday afternoon in June of 1986, finds us at the corner of Archer Avenue and Pulaski Road. A 1977 era Chicago Transit Authority GMC Bus is waiting for the traffic light to change. The building by the bus is the old Mount Pindo's Restaurant, wich was soon to be demolished. The replacement Strip Mall type of building is already under construction. This new building will soon house the New Mount Pindo's Restaurant, as weel as other stores.

Ed!
I remember that sign! I used to watch it spin and almost hit the light pole as we waited for the traffic light on our way to my grandmother's house.
The old Archer Bank sign is cool too.
The Mount Pindos was a gold mine in the mid 1960's, the ATSF people were just a small part of their clientel. We used to call these "Green Sign Restaurants" none related but all good.
