The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette calls it "iconic." I'd argue that, but whatever, the Heinz ketchup neon sign which was first
attached to their plant on the north side of Pittsburgh in 1995 is once again gracing the Pittsburgh skyline.
As the linked article points out, the sign was removed some months ago and has now been hoisted above the
Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh's Strip District.
While the sign is a rather modern invention, it does harken back to the grand animated signs that some of us
still remember from Times Square. Camel cigarettes, anyone?
