Does anyone remember josies fireside pizza on I believe pacific ave? Remember that flipping pizza sign? When I was a kid and you were going up pacific ave and you could see that thing from a distance! When I was down there once around 2001 I think the sign was still hanging there. It looked in bad shape like someone was throwing rocks at it and the neon was busted up! What happened to that awsome sign? there is a neon sign website that has a picture of it! Cant rember what site. I have it on my computer somewhere. That sign used to blow me away!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE that sign!! How great is it with simulated motion and all. I haven't been back to Wildwood in 3 years, but last visit I saw the sign but the place looked deserted. The sign looked as if it was in disrepair. I hope it has been saved...truly a classic 50's/60's sign.

I also remember that Josie's sign. I know I've seen it still there within the last few years. Not sure if it's still there, the building was in disrepair to say the least. Can't think of where on Pacific is was?
Wonder if the sign could even be saved?

Is that building even there anymore? I would love to know how I can get that sign, restore it to its origanal glory, and hang it at my pizza shop back here in pottstown!!!!! It would be better then it just sitting on some scrap pile in a warehouse or somthing!

Nope...last time Iwas by there, it was gone..I have noidea if anyone saved the sign, tho it's possible.
Josie's..I remember going in there at like 3 or 4 in the morning after being in the Clubs most of the night..Josie's daughter was a housemate of mine at one time...and we hadsome interesting times down there.

Maybe you could ask around and let me know what happened? I heard around 2001 that the sign cost around 20,000 dollars to make that long ago? also i was told that there was a small room for its controls to make the pizzas flip, cause remember now that electronics were not that advanced back then, so I can see them using a bunch of giant transformers and other stuff for its operation.
