A user researches and shares that the Do Drop Inn's original sign read "NICE PEOPLE DANCING TO GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC," not soul music, and that the legendary bar closed in 1990 when Highland Park was cleared for airport expansion.
“The original location was a legendary, now-defunct bar called the Do Drop Inn, which was located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Louisville before the area was cleared for airport expansion in 1990.”

I googled this. It is in Louisville, KY I’ve driven by it many times. The original location was a legendary, now-defunct bar called the Do Drop Inn, which was located in the Highland Park neighborhood of Louisville before the area was cleared for airport expansion in 1990.1/2

This place should exist in every town, city, and village.

I once played at the North Side Social Club and High Quality Hair Weave Center in Amarillo Texas. Another great sign.

Nice. I like this one I took in the vibrant neighborhood of Quiapo, Manila.

This is way better than the “We Paint Cars Here” sign near my work (which always makes me smile). I love clear info & direction.

Okay this is genuinely one of the nicest signs I've ever seen. We need more places with this kind of energy.
