Chicago Tribune July 22nd.
The Sugar Bowl sign protrudes from the building (whereas today signs are flat on them) and features the word "restaurant" in white on a red background. Also the word "Air Conditioned" is below that. On top of it is the two-handled sugar bowl. This is really a striking piece of work.
The newest owners, Steve Morakalis and George Prassas, took over in December and renovated the restaurant, opening about three months ago. They agreed to keep the sign after talking with the city of Des Plaines. The words sweet cream will be removed and "pancakes and more" added.
Owner Steve Morakalis didn't know much of the restaurant's past, but learned. "The Sugar Bowl has a history behind it. We have customers here that...worked in here. Their kids worked here."
Glad to See This Sign Is Being Saved. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
