Makes me sad. Legendary Nashville business. My dad shopped there as a teen. So did I, and my friends who have kids now had them in there as well

Live, laugh, Mondays 🙃🫣🫠

Historic Hillsboro Village neon sign removed ahead of business closure wsmv.com/2024/06/10/his…

Besides ours, we would include Wendell Smith’s, Drake Motel, Robert’s Western World, and Jones Pet Shop (now Fido in Hillsboro Village) as grandfathered-in, initial OG pieces.

Nestor Ilagan shows his son the sign at Friedman's Army Navy Outdoor Store. Nestor used to post the messages on it. Friedman's closes after 75 years this week. The sign is being restored by Liquid Fire Vintage Neon. Nestor says the sign has been at Friedman's stores since 1955.

For 75 years, the name of a family-owned business has been in Nashville. That business has now closed. The community made sure to give it a big send off first. newschannel5.com/news/friedmans…
