What happened to the Hamm’s Brewery sign?
On top of that, I recall the Doggy Diner's iconic Dog's Head (complete w/ Chef's Hat) adorning the fast food chains locations oh so many decades ago...

I once was told
Vana Whitewall of Peoria Plaza Tire used to hold a big truck tire in her arm. Hooligans stole three of them before they gave up and stopped putting tires up there.
Personally, I am still looking around for some redneck in a comically large tricycle.

I suspect.
"Doggie Diner" is the bane of the existence of the Batwinged Hamburger Snatcher.
Dave knows.
Harvey Krishna, what's your sign?
Peace and love, there is yet time.
Spare change before you bring me down -

And giggles. I treasure my copy of the original printed edition, with the full-color version of Magic Cookie Land at the end.
I must admit, though, I had never expected to see Ralph the All American Dog elected as President.

Oh, and by the way...

There was a really big stink when a new owner of one of the old locations went about trying to 'just get rid of it'- it was a site near San Francisco's Zoo* btw, and folks rallied to prevent the desecration.
