It took 10 years, but Ogden man beats City Hall - Salt Lake Tribune: "Last week, Ogden's Landmarks Commission approved Bruce Edwards' proposal to restore a sign on his historic C.C. Keller Building on 25th Street -- a full 10 years after his original request.

'I outlasted 'em,' Edwards chortled Thursday. 'And the bottom line is, I was right.'

The original wording, dating back to about 1910 and painted on the north side of the two-story brick structure, is still barely visible: 'Every hour upon the hour for about an hour Drink Becker's Beer -- Ogden's Famous Beer.'

But in 1998, the Landmarks Commission -- whose membership has now changed -- gave the sign restoration a big thumbs down.

'One of the members said, 'We can't have beer on that sign; we want 25th Street to be family oriented,' Edwards recalled."
