North Tryon Street was
formerly known as part of the major commercial corridor US N29 which ran
through Charlotte, NC. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the
principal means of transportation through this area. The Amber Steak
House Restaurant and sign is a prime example of superb eye-catching colorful
signage which attracted attention from motorists traveling along former US
N29 in their automobiles or trucks.
