The Dr. Pepper Sign Restoration

The Dr. Pepper Sign  was restored by Virginia Sign Works,  a Virginia Electrical Services company.  B&B Welding and Lynchburg Crane provided the crane services.  The sign was taken down on October 23, 2005. On December 28, 2005 starting at 10 PM Virginia Sign Works and Lynchburg Crane moved the Dr. Pepper Sign from the parking lot on Salem Avenue to its new home on top of the Legg Mason Building.  The setup process was finished by 6 AM December 29, 2005.  The sign was turned on at a ceremony on New Years Eve at approximately 6:15 PM. 

A special thanks to Bobbie Simmons and Shawn Ulrich from Virginia Electrical Services for giving me access to prime locations for shooting and letting me take these historical pictures.
