description: Phil's
Bar-B-Q, originally the Stumble Inn, porcelain double sided neon sign. The
original porcelain is a pig wearing a chef's hat with the initials S.I.
which make up the top part of the two part sign. The bottom section has
BAR-B-Q and STUMBLE INN.
information: The sign was next painted as a Chef
with "PHIL" on the hat. Recently repainted back to the original pig
design although it retained the name PHIL on the hat. The Stumble Inn
opened in 1958 at the current Phil's location at 9205 Gravois Road in
Affton, Missouri. On October 11, 2008 a drunk driver crashed into the
sign post and destroyed the posts and mangled the metal can. Somehow the
sign faces survived quite nicely. |
