NASHVILLE, Tenn. — An iconic part of Lower Broadway is coming down. Jack’s Bar-B-Que is removing its famous neon sign featuring winged pigs in hats.
Crews will begin the process early Tuesday morning around 6:30 a.m. The restaurant, which closed earlier this month, will reopen its doors briefly to give fans a farewell including free pork sandwiches from 10 a.m. to noon, while supplies last.
The neon piece will be cleaned and refurbished, with hopes it could one day be featured in an exhibit on the history of neon downtown.
The building itself has been sold to the owners of Robert’s Western World, who plan to expand into the space.

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
