Chicago, IL
2010: 2025:
This former Tastee-Freez location evidently had a rooftop sign originally. This pole sign was a later addition. I believe this stand was built in 1951. In 2016, this stand became The Freeze and the sign panels were changed. Around 2016, this bulb sign with an ice cream cone was installed on the rooftop steel structure. That sign was removed by 2021. The Freeze closed in 2023. From 2024-2025, the building was gutted and remodeled a bit. It now houses the Small Cheval restaurant but the plastic The Freeze pole sign remains. [map]
