The sign for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has turned up on the roof of a restaurant.
The decorative lighting fixture was auctioned off in April after CBS pulled the plug on one of the longest-running late-night franchises in U.S. television.
Restaurateur Jeff Douek swooped in to purchase the sign for $102,100 before installing it on the rooftop of his WeHo Bistro in West Hollywood, California, this week.
It probably should have been in the neon museum in Las Vegas

It is a known place that stores historical signs. It could expand the collection to include non Vegas signs since there isn’t a known place that collects famous signs. I think that it was a good idea.
