Love this neon sign of the original Post Bar in #Detroit.
The bar first opened in 1978 near Cobo Hall, but moved to its new location on Broadway in 2024.
Now the original sign is inside the bar (with a smaller version outside).
File under TMI.

On the one hand, yes, for sure. On the other, Detroit probably doesn't get the proper amount of scorn for driving two of the greatest players of all-time to quit because they couldn't stomach another moment of Lions football.
