December 2022 — The glowing neon “EAT” sign at Al’s Hamburgers stands out against the snowy backdrop of winter in Minneapolis. The sign, with its bright mid-century colors and bold lettering, has been part of the business’s identity since the diner opened in 1934. Its classic styling reflects the era when small neighborhood restaurants relied on eye-catching storefront signs to draw in passing traffic. Light snow gathers on the striped awning below, adding a seasonal layer to one of the area’s longstanding local landmarks.
