Two more from Ms. D. Walz.
Advertisements from yester-year and ghost signs around Cincinnati: If they're not fading away, they're covered up, or the buildings they're on are torn down.

Details
Hot off the heels of the last post, we are reminded again that we see what we want to see.
Mr. J. Kiesewetter sent us something that we glossed over in person at 4th and Vine.

Shining Through Too
We showed you this one at 4th and Vine just over four years ago.
Is the original sign bleeding through or are we crazy?

Shining Through
More like "bleeding through", amiright?
Look in the foreground.
I've always suspected there was more underneath the cheap paint job that covers this building.

Back of Toppers
Mr. D.L. Hudson reports finding this in an alley behind Toppers Pizza in downtown Lincoln.
It's in the same alley as this more recent ghost sign.

Unnecessary Advertising
Another from Ms. D. Walz, who reports this building once housed a brothel, before it was purchased by a mission, which kicked the women out.
We're assuming the sign came after the whorehouse, because, well, some things don't need to be advertised on a wall.

From the Mailbox
In Lincoln, Nebr. On 11th Street, between P and O Streets.
Courtesy of Ms. D. Walz, who accompanied our Western Field Agent, Mr. D.L. Hudson on a rather successful hunt.

Modern Art
Not a ghost sign, and hardly faded.
But this diner in Corryville earns a hat tip, for keeping the artform alive.
Also a hat tip to Sam Smith for his Oscar winning original song,
The Writing's On the Wall.

More Madisonville
Across the street from yesterday's entry. On Whetzel.
And on the south side of the building, hidden by a tree.
