56. I remember those two places...
My wife and I used to live in SLC... :-) for over 12 years. We left in 97.

I never went inside either place .. but I always thought to myself that the were odd names for a bar.

24. Funniest Business Name
Back in the late '70s there was an auto detailing business who's specialty was waxing. They had a big sign on North Broadway in New Hope, Minnesota. "The Wax Works, Home of the Hand Job". Really.

30. Well, let's see.
There was a radiator shop that didn't have a funny name in and of itself, it was 'Lang's Radiator Shop' or something like that, but the motto was always printed just below the logo in all their ads: "Hottest rods in town"

Also:

Hanger Artificial Limbs
(now called "Hanger Family Prosthetics," I believe)

Dick Burns Insurance

There was also a 'Craver Hookum' mortuary, too, but it's gone now -- or at least goes under a different name.

31. Thoracic Park (Chiropractic) and Butt Construction
Thoracic Park gets really close to violating the Jurassic Park copyright...

Butt Construction is just plain dumb. "I have this unfortunate last name, so maybe I'll name my company after it, instead of Steve's Construction, or Cool Construction."
