Save the Coachman's Sign: An Evening with Author Lisa Michele Church

The Coachman's sign has lit up State Street and 1300 South in Salt Lake City for decades. This unique landmark, designed by the diner's owner, features its well-known lantern and neon letters. Now, the sign needs our help. Sapa Group has kindly donated it to the Liberty Wells Community Council, but it must be professionally removed and stored before the end of July. The community is raising funds to make this possible.
Come to Manny's Neighborhood Bar for an evening celebrating Utah's vintage sign heritage. Author and local historian Lisa Michele Church, who wrote the "Vintage Signs of Utah" books, will be in attendance. Her books showcase hundreds of neon signs, unique marquees, and hand-painted landmarks that make our streets special. Lisa Michele will talk about why signs matter as art, advertising, and shared landmarks in our memories.
Join us for good conversation and help support a great cause. Every dollar raised will go to Phase 1 of the rescue: safely removing the Coachman's sign and storing it while the community plans for its restoration and future home.
