The famed Ossip eyeglasses billboard at the north end of the Applebee's parking lot was cut up and removed on Monday, November 13, 2007. Dr. Gregg Ossip explained that liability changes did not allow him to repair the sculpture, but instead forced him to remove it. "It is a sad day - the end of an era. Fifteen years ago, I mentioned to Chris Beatty that I was going to do a billboard. He didn't think much of it, but came back a day later with the 3-D eyeglasses design concept." David Bellamy sculpted and repaired the art over the years.
