Historic Idaho 55 Landmark Demolished

The iconic neon sign from The Chief Hotel, Café and Bar, a historic landmark on Idaho 55 in downtown Cascade, was taken down on Wednesday due to necessary repairs to the building it has adorned since 1946, now known as Palooza Basecamp & Eatery. The sign’s removal also ended its status as a grandfathered structure under Cascade’s dark sky lighting regulations established in 2019. Jeff Tyler, the current owner, expressed the emotional impact of the sign’s departure, noting the cost and safety concerns associated with its upkeep, especially after a recent fire incident involving one of its bulbs. The sign has since been sold to an undisclosed buyer, sparking nostalgia among locals who remember its significance in the community. Cascade’s Mayor, Judy Nissula, acknowledged the bittersweet nature of the sign’s removal, highlighting the ever-evolving landscape of the town.
