Interesting to note: this building is at 11th and Dodge, while this one is at 11th and Jones.

And Ford Storage and Moving is still in business, but has since vacated both premises.

Wake Up

He caught them before they're gone forever.

But, nothing lasts forever.

A Rooming House with Breakfast

From our Western Field Agent. At 24th and Harney in Omaha.

The World-Herald has a brief history.

Did you miss Ronny Salerno's appearance on the radio talking about his book?

Open Late, Closed Early

Our Western Field Agent, Mr. D.L. Hudson is back on the hunt, now that bitterly cold temperatures have a least temporarily left Nebraska.

Reference Material

John Kiesewetter shared this with us, because it refers to a ghost sign.

We believe it's this one, and if we're correct, it clears up a lot.

Also, the article refers to local historian Don Heinrich Tolzmann, who put out a field guide to that ghost sign paradise, Over-the-Rhine, recently.  We just started reading it, and hope it holds more clues to some unreadable and otherwise lost signs.

Beer History

Hudy is gone from here, and still a label, but a ghost sign nonetheless.

At 41 East McMicken, not far from the new home of the Moerlein family of beers.
