Architecture
At Pal's #1, the exterior is covered with red and white tiling, and has a large red sign that is lit up every night. The neon glow shows up saying 'Burgers, Shakes, 19 cents (the original cost for a Pal's Burger). One of the notable features of Pal's is the architecture of the buildings. Pal's #2 has long featured a "Muffler Man" called Big Pal holding a hamburger on the roof. The newer Pal's restaurants are box-shaped with a tiered front decorated by a Big Pal (Hamburger), Hot Dog, an Order of Frenchie Fries and drink cup. Until recently, Pal's #2 also featured a 50's-style lighted sign. The sign was replaced because it became too expensive to operate and maintain. Originally Pal's #1 had a stone front and you didn't come inside, you had to go to a window under a cement awning.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

—Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)
“They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
