Located in the heart of downtown Cookeville, the Cream City sign has celebrated its 75th year of light. Festivities were spread out from the Broad st. store to the Cookeville History Museum.
The on-site festivities included free ice cream and an opportunity to learn about the history and maintenance of neon signs.
The sign hallmarks the tragic fire which destroyed the original building in 1948. The former Consumer City rebranded to Cream City and unveiled the luminous Cookeville icon.
While the sign brings a large aesthetic value to the city, it also stands as a monument to nostalgia for many.
