This sign has been replaced by a newer one within the last few years (sometime between 2010 and 2012, I think).

The new sign has the same "shape" as the old one, but new lettering. I don't recall if it is still neon or just "looks" like neon.

It now says something like "Oliver Insurance Agency" or something like that (the "L. Marion" was taken off, for sure).
