It’s Been Done but I Found One on Monday
A Ghost sign.
One time I tried to do a Faded Friday Signage theme. It didn’t last long.

There was already a show of Pittsburgh Ghost Signs in 2014. I missed it. Kelly Bogel was the photographer.
“I always wondered why we like these things,” said Professor Will Zavala, “I think it’s because they are a mystery. They’re a mystery because their literal meaning is sometimes a puzzle, sometimes they’re advertising products, for the most part, that don’t even exist anymore for companies that aren’t around, even though they must have been household names at the time.”
