Connie Zuber learned this week that the neon sign her husband Bill Zuber installed in 1949 must come down. The two story building on Highway 6 in Homestead has long marked Amana Colonies for motorists. The ACLUD ban on neon signs, adopted in 1996, aimed to restore 19th century heritage. Exceptions were granted to two restaurants, Ox Yoke Inn and Colony Inn, in 2003, later upheld after a court challenge.
