Richmond has its big main welcome at the I-95/I-64 split:

And then at several city boundaries, they've got these quaint little plinths: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5430...7i16384!8i8192

And finally, these more recent banners at some city limits, though these sometimes get vandalized: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5544...7i13312!8i6656

Chicago has one at O;Hare too that I have not seen in years. I believe it has a view of the city and says Welcome to Chicago.

birmingham had this one back in the '60s, before the train station in the background was torn down (i know...):



a new sign intended to sort of pay homage to it was installed at the entrance to a 4-block long park in the middle of the city a few years ago:
