Most Chicagoans of a certain age fondly remember Magikist signs. Several major expressways entering Chicago had one. This example was on the Kennedy near Montrose, though the sign of my own youth was on the Dan Ryan.

Not too many business signs feature El trains. GT Fast Food’s example across from the Kimball train station at Lawrence Avenue is nicely rendered. Note that yellow street signs were once the standard in Chicago. Kimball is the final stop for the CTA’s Brown Line.

Steve's Place. Chicago Avenue near Franklin. The kind of prosaic sign you used to see all over but now that they have mostly vanished, like this one, you can no longer take them for granted.
