A Polaroid snapshot of the General Electric starburst sign at Elwood's Appliances on Lower Huntington Road in the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Elwood's is one of the few locally owned appliance stores left in Fort Wayne. When I was younger, the GE sign was still being lit at night. The lights would move outward and the center of the sign, with the GE logo, would turn on when the radial lights would reach the ends of the metal bars.

Waynedale was once an independent small town. In 1957, it was annexed by the city of Fort Wayne, but it still looks like a small town and still retains a small town culture. There are a lot of locally owned businesses here. Lower Huntington Road was and still is Waynedale's "Main Street."
