So long to the Clover Deli's iconic neon signage

Heading north outside the usual coverage area for a moment... Clover Deli officially closed last summer after 72 years on the corner of Second Avenue and 34th Street. The third-generation of the Cuttita Family had been running the deli. 

On Saturday, workers removed the Clover's iconic neon signage... Yo La Tengo's Instagram account was among those who shared the news...

Workers at the scene said that this will live on at the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. 

The owners also operate House of Wine & Liquor around the corner on 34th Street.
