The Tropics restaurant opened in 1950 by Vince Schwenoha. The site included a large, signature neon sign that quickly became the symbol of the restaurant and a Route 66 landmark. In 1955, Lew & Bev Johnson became owners of the Tropics until 1997 when it closed. In 2016, the Tropics was inducted into the Route 66 Association of Illinois Hall of Fame. The neon sign is fully restored.
