'Racist' Sign Discovered On Nicollet Ave
A relic of history shows up when old sign is taken down.
As the landlords of now-closed prepare to find a new tennant for the 38th and Nicollet space, their remodeling efforts have uncovered a piece of history.
"For those of you old enough to remember the old Art Songs Wings at 38th & Nicollet, the racist sign was just uncovered," Kingfielder David Brauer tweeted Tuesday afternoon, along with the picture above.
The yellow sign and its decidedly tasteless caricature of an East Asian man once belonged to an old tennant, Art Song's Wings. The restaurant is now based on University Ave in St. Paul.

"What are you people eating? Honestly, get in your car now. Your life in incomplete. Art Song's is the greatest place to eat in the Twin Cities," wrote one reviewer on a Yelp! page for the restaurant.
