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 over as a Chef with "PHIL" on the hat. Lastly
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. |
