Object History
:
Single-faced skeleton neon sign made in a 1950s-style for Lydia’s on Ludlow in Cincinnati. Lydia’s opened in 2006 in the Clifton Gaslight district at 329 Ludlow Ave and closed in February of 2020 in part due to a street-wide recession that started when IGA left in combination with Lydia being exhausted from the daily running of the restaurant. They were known as one of Cincinnati’s only green cafes and served homemade soups, salads, and sandwiches in combination with coffee, tea, and a variety of cocktails. They were also well known for their live music throughout the week as well as the apothecary and retail store.
