Help the big doughnut

The Route 66 Mother Road Museum of Barstow, Calif., is raising money to move the historic 1948 Winchell’s Donut sign to the Museum of Neon Art of Los Angeles. The sign is being displayed at Soutar’s Dodge in Barstow until Dec. 21.

A small story about the fundraising effort is here. There’s a good picture of the Winchell’s sign here.
