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.

Detroit, Rock City
On a recent excursion north to visit a friend, we ventured across the border into what some people refer to as "that state up north."
Mr. M. Walker took us into Detroit's Greektown for a couple of hours of imbibing, and ghost sign hunting.
Nigh impossible to see in this photo, but the signature on the lower left of this lovely layered sign is from Walker & Co. Ironic, considering our guide was Mr. M. Walker.
More to come...

Recently Uncovered
As seen from the corner of 7th and Vine...
And from the corner of Central Parkway and Race.
As the renovation continues, we're hopeful more will become visible.
**Update**
(It was painted over soon after this photo was taken.)
