Getting a start in urbex can be as easy as looking around your own hometown. As a kid I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It wasn’t until I moved out in college that I began to appreciate all the unique history the city had to offer. (No, I don’t care about the historical Green Bay Packers.) Green Bay is host to one of only two vintage McDonald’s neon signs of its kind nationwide. In high school I used to come here for lunch with my friends. Although I’ve developed quite a distaste for their food, I do find this neon sign to be quite beautiful. I’m glad that the franchise owner has decided to maintain it.
I love this sign. Are you planning on doing more exploration in the Green Bay area? I know there are a lot of nice (more rural) locations when you get further up north that I have always wanted to explore a little more.
What high school did you go to that you would travel all the way to this McDonald’s?
