Good find, John...too funny. When I was in Key West in April, I took a picture of the "Salute" Restaurant. I thought I'd post it at some point, but haven't gotten around to it.

OK I tried unsucessfully to find an image of Wisconsin's Sundown Cafe
but I did find one in Germany!!

I then realised that this could become a long running and enjoyable game
let's see
Yus there is a
Protocol restaurant in Williamsville which is in or near to Buffalo NY

OK there are many other GL song titles for which somewhere in the world there is an object named similarly
there is for example the famous Edmund Fitzgerald Porter
http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com/med...ottleGlass.jpg
Not least of which there are another 18 songs whose title comprises a single word
For example there is a Crossroads Motel in Illy-noise
http://www.cardcow.com/images/crossr...coln-17744.jpg
and there was a popular UK television soap opera set in such an establishment that ran from 1965 to 1988

I've driven past a sign for Biscuit City Road several times, but don't have a picture handy of the sign post. I did however find the ultimate Biscuit City!

Oops I forgot about Bru's famous picture of Biscuit City Road that she once spotted in Rhode Island where else??
here it is suitably resized and as previously displayed in an old thread at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=13987
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFO...scuit_city.jpg
which I had cropped and rotated to produce
http://h1.ripway.com/johnfowles/ligh...nd_rotated.jpg
If you scroll down to the final posting to that thread by yours truly
you will see that Jenney's picture is of a "sculpture" entitled
"Eating the City’ by Song Dong
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...liament300.jpg
(good name for another song dong you tink?)
