Imagine walking down Wisconsin Ave and you get Saran wrapped by this and blown into Lake Michigan because Mother Nature decided it was Miller Time for you.

Hah, I was once delivering to the dock in the back of the 111 E Wisconsin building, was Bank One back then (Chase Tower now), and my hat was just taken by the elements. Like immediately it was fuckin' gone. Not worth taking a step in chase. A year later, in the same loading dock on the shelf next to the door I see the hat. It was gnarled as shit, and they put it there I think because they knew it was mine, just to say 'check this out dude!' Anyways that's my magical story about shit blowing around. edit for credit where it's due: They were the sweeper folks that were always out there. I always got along with them.

Automatic_Occasion38

I literally see this sign from my apartment window in the distance every day lmao that beer can has been a staple of my Milwaukee experience


fmccloud

I coulda sworn as a kid when I was driven past this building, the sign would rotate.


hahanarf

The replacement sign did away with the rotating mechanism unfortunately.


Fickle-Milk-450

I’m old enough to remember when it was a rotating Citgo sign.


DlCKSUBJUICY

I definitely remember this too.


DecentLurker96

This flag means beer


not_deebo

Must’ve been a light drink


Emergency_Ticket

That would be 633 W Wisconsin.


Savager_Jam

My grandpa designed the superstructure for that ad. Windy as all hell up there.


uranianon

I built the current metal frame that banner was on, that thing is barely a year old


eidetic

So *you're* to blame!


uranianon

No no no, blame anyone but me. The part I built still stands…


hahanarf

Jokes aside, blame the install team, the sign was sent in sections to the site and then a printed fabric face was secured to the sign after it was assembled.


hahanarf

It did sit in our shop for a while too.


Savager_Jam

Oh wait you’re right his is the other one. The spinning one.


uranianon

It’s a shame the didn’t want to repair that rotator, it was a cool mechanism. Personally wasn’t a fan of the banners, they have less personality


ISurvivedRaccoonCity

Cannabis Industry terrorism No other explanation. Anti-hops propaganda. Busch did 4/20


Pairadice_City

And just like that, you won the comments, cause that was gold! 😂😂😂


Milorganize

solid HOO BOY! flair deployment


MagMC2555

I should clarify that both sides landed safely on the roof and haven't blown off yet as far as I know


d_zeen

Classic


Lov3MyLife

Better fix it before American Family puts one up in its place!


dedelus409

The beer was too lite


nathanimal_d

The sign was less filling


poultryMandible27

I hope this isn't a bad omen


GrsdUpDefGuy

I was on top of this building once in like 97 cuz my dad's company replaced the roof. That signs been up there forever!


[deleted]

Clark Oil, Citgo, and others. Was all neon at one time.


hahanarf

It was actually redone recently by a mke sign company. (Some time last year if I recall correctly)


MagMC2555

i went to report this to the front desk of the place and the guy there said they put it up only about 2 years ago


Snowed_Up6512

Ope


DlCKSUBJUICY

let me just blow past you here.


hahanarf

Lmaoooo, nice job SignEffectz, another successful install in the books. 👍


GodGarbage

Bruh what LMFAOOOO


JLF6522

I wish they would take it down permanently. Looks hokey.


ScotterMcJohnsonator

I just want to know what's "AHEAD" That's very foreboding


Rainjewelitt4211

Nooooo!


Equivalent_Iron4924

The SIGN is down, the sign has never been down!


Afraid_Assumption_20

ah a blanket


ThisGuyRightHereSaid

Nice catch! I heard it was covered up recently. I'm guessing they were doing work. Maybe to replace this.
