Logo tee for the late great Bobby's, a gay bar near Boston Garden on Canal Street. The dance floor was small, and during the weekend mornings it was a place to have brunch. A sorely missed chapter in Boston's LGBT scene. Cool 80s / neon vibe logo.

The Hilltop Steakhouse was a chain of restaurants in Eastern Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire that existed from 1961 to 2013. The original location opened in Saugus, Massachusetts in 1961, and operated until 2013. In a hilltop location with a giant saguaro cactus sign, the restaurant was a landmark on Route 1 north of Boston. The last restaurant existed only as a butcher shop in Weymouth. The other locations with Hilltop restaurants were Hartford, Nashua, Braintree, and Springfield. Who can forget the 60 foot neon cactus sign? Great gift for Bostonians, New Englanders and Steak lovers.

Ben Frank's was a favorite hangout for many of the rockers of the 60s, due to its proximity to many Sunset Boulevard music studios. The Stones were regulars. A classic example of googie architecture. The building on Sunset is now a Mel's- another famous LA diner.
