Hefty Burger on West Capitol Avenue

According to one local account "Hefty's been around for quite a while now; it used to be a Pioneer Chicken - that's why the sign looks a little weird, as their logo was a "chuck wagon-in flames" of some sort." This sign will probably be gone soon as the City of West Sacramento continues to enforce the new sign ordinance. Photo by Barbara

Update: The sign is now gone due to the new sign ordinance.
