The Sara Lee bread loaf on top of the Kern's Bakery building in South Knoxville is one of those Knoxville icons that everyone knows and (mostly) loves.Being a South Knoxvillian myself, I drive by the Kerns Bakery quite often, and always enjoy the smell of freshly-baking bread coming out of the building.
At night, the sign is lit up by neon lights that border the slices of bread, and they go in sequence for each slice, bringing to mind slicing bread, making a sandwich, or - of course - bringing you attention to the idea of buying Sara Lee bread.
Personally, I don't care for Sara Lee, but I do like their sign!

I wonder if anyone has any pictures of the Kern's Bakery in the late 60's early 70's. During the Christmas season, they always had a huge Christmas tree and a giant Santa statue out front. I still catch myself looking for them at Christmas time.
We have a promotional picture of a family around a table with Kerns bread as the focus. Made in the 50's.
