Arby Melts
Photographer: Micki Cohen Wilkoff
Date: Summer 2003
Place: Penn Avenue, Wilkinsburg
Why this sign?
It was taken after Arby's burned down on Penn Avenue and I thought it might be worth taking and saving.

Gee, I hope someone was able to salvage the Horsy Sauce!

I was with Micki when she took this picture. Now, don't get me wrong--I felt badly for the employees. Nonetheless, after seeing the condition of the building, paired with the text on the sign, I found this extremely funny. It's just one of those wonderful little ironies in life. I've always wondered whether we were the only ones who took pictures of it. Surely, we COULDN'T have been the only people to read the sign and find the image darkly amusing...

I lived in Wilkinsburg for a few years, and I always wanted to take a picture of it. It's just so appropriate that the sign advertized "Arby's Melts."
Glad someone got around to photographing it.
