The fate of the iconic sign, which predates Tee Jaye's (was originally Jerry's Drive Thru on the property and sign), remains undecided. I know one thing, it cannot end up in a landfill. I would love to see this preserved and restored, especially if actual neon can be used in the process. If it doesn't stay in Columbus, perhaps the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati would like it?

I also took pics and a video of it in early 2017 and can be found on my Instagram: instagram.com/columbusneon
