R.I.P.: The Spot

Rescued:  Iconic sign finds home, in retirement...

I don't know when it closed, but some time in the not-so-distant past it did.

The Spot, a well-known local watering hole, has closed its doors.  Luckily, the iconic sign that literally pointed to the front doors, was saved (minus the neon that made it quite eye-catching at night during the bar's heyday...)  Rick Clow was the person who salvaged it, a native son who has moved on, but still counts the hometown area near and dear to his heart...Well done, Rick!
