| Description | Picture of the Cherry Hill coffee shop. |
| Commentary | The infamous Cherry Hill Coffee Shop whose attempts at free advertising were thwarted by Sam Weems and the National Park Service. Apparently the taking down of their billboard in 1958 didn't damage business too badly, since they were still operating in 1973. |
