U.S. House: Health Care DebateClark Building's Giant 'Candy Bar' Is MovingNo Landmark Status For Historic SignPITTSBURGH -- The large, orange Clark candy bar sign will soon get a different view of the North Side.  City approval has been granted to move the historic sign from the roof of the Clark building to a less-visible spot in the rear of the building.The building was the site of a Clark chewing gum plant, but it has since been converted to office space. City officials had considered protecting the sign by nominating it for historic status, but that idea was abandoned after the owner offered to relocate and repair the sign for about $50,000.A sign for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, whose offices occupy a floor of the building, will replace the candy bar.
