In Florida most Arby's are modern. Lakeland was one of the few around Central Florida.
Right, but as your slice of FL goes, so goes not the country.

I said one of the last. The headline was a grabber.  Jersey City for years had one at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel.

Looks like the pair on Concord Pike (US 202) north of Wilmington, although shorter versions, are still there, according to GSV (but sadly, the nearby old school bell Taco Bell signs are gone).  The one on Wolcott St in Waterbury, CT, although still tall, has been replaced with the modern logo.

I'm surprised there are this many still around, too: not because I thought they were gone, but because I never even knew they existed until this thread.  :D

Muncie Indiana has one.

Muncie also has an old McDonald's sign

Perhaps instead of trying to "grab" people–you don't benefit from anyone reading a thread so there's no need to engage in BuzzFeed clickbait tactics–you should instead actually indicate what you're intent on discussing. As originally titled there was no indication that the last of what kind was gone.

That's where Garfield was born, right?
Here is another hat still in SYR, located on the Boulevard

No, that would be Marion, also the birthplace of James Dean.
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

Oh I thought it was in Muncie.

There's still one on Street Road (PA 132) in Feasterville-Trevose that was kept even after the building was remodeled.

There's also one hanging around on East Michigan Avenue in Jackson, MI.  This was one of the original covered-wagon style buildings, since remodeled.

Jon Stewart most affected
Hey, Arby's was the butt of jokes long before anyone outside of comedy nerds had heard of Jon Stewart.

You know I haven't noticed whether they still had the hats on their signs or not, and I've been going though their drive-thru a lot more often lately.


I'll have to start paying attention.

There is one in Green Bay and one in the suburb of Ashwaubenon.
bumping as the one in Green Bay is building a new restaurant across the street and the city won't let them relocate the sign ("doesn't meet code") so that is another one lost.

There's another one at the corner of Wolf and Cermak in the western suburbs of Chicago.



I'd love to try their interpretation of gyros. There's still one 10 gallon sign in STL, on Lindell.

I'm sorry to say that this Arby's has since closed. I was kind of disappointed to find that out.

I found  a Arby's old school sign in Kentucky.   5022 South 3rd Street, Louisville.

I'm curious if the orange Arby's signs are being replaced by the white ones?  I really like the orange sign.

Still another old-school Arby's sign in Gainesville, Florida.

Used to eat here as a student when I didn't know any better.

They're still using the 'hat' logo in their corporate advertising, too.  I saw it in an ad that was shown during a game that I saw on one of the screens at a local sports bar, yesterday.

The one on Federal Boulevard in Westminster, Colorado, still has its sign. Obviously this is grandfathered in since Westminster's strict sign code prevents any new signs like these.

Virginia still has a few but the sign style at the Waynesboro VA location is one that seems pretty rare in my travels - https://goo.gl/maps/DuvrY6LmVsqaENuJ9

Totally off-topic, but where is your US 58 cutout avatar sign photo from?

SR 603 near Konnarock.

Both my avatar pic and Froggie's pic of the same location were taken in 2007.  I haven't been there since then so I don't know if this set still stands.
