Welcome to Palm Springs (Same Town, New Sign)

The iconic and cursive Palm Springs sign that welcomed drive-in tourists to town has been uprooted and will soon be replaced.

By what? Another iconic sign costing $172,600 designed to be an appropriate backdrop to vacation photos.

So far the lettering is being stored in a city office while they decide what to do about it. E-Bay? Museum? Selling it to one of the many mid-century modern architecture fans so it could be the ultimate living room wall art?

What do you think should happen to the sign? And are you going to miss it?
