Western Auto Sign Back on Display | Kansas City News
Description
Kansas City’s legendary 70-foot Western Auto sign is back on the skyline, fully relit after a long hiatus caused by broken neon and bulbs. The restoration, costing $600K, was made possible through a city contribution of $100K from Illuminate KC, while the loft owners pledged to maintain it for the next decade — all after turning down a free fix that came with a competing sign. This historic beacon, first lit in 1952, now glows brighter than ever, symbolizing community pride and local heritage.
