This threat isn't the place for that as none of what you posted is about or on Google Street view.

Found the (im)famous 'MYASS' sign in Streetview (Sorry if it's hard too see). :LOL3:

Sadly. The restaurant is now opened 24/7, so it's been replaced with a different McDonald's sign.

Looks like it's been rehabilitated since then, and it's pretty!

Also, it had a WCH motor bell on it too :Tongue1:

At both ends it would appear...

Plus, there was one on top of the traffic signals at each end as well:
