Lower Price Hill


Along River Road, a bit west of State Street.


The circles on either end were probably logos for Coke. Or Pepsi. Or Barq's. Or something like that.



West 8th. We've featured this before, but this is a much better photograph.

Chester and Deshler Nebraska


On the border of Nebraska and Kansas, along US 81, sits Chester, Nebraska. 


Named for President Arthur, home of six-man football and to this one ghost sign.


Just north and west sits Deshler, Nebraska.

Seneca Kansas


Like Belleville, Seneca is another community we'd passed by numerous times, but never checked out.
And we're glad we did.


Cremo Cigars: founded in 1896, and get this:
Although cigars are little more expensive today.


We can clearly make out Hall, but not the word atop it.


And we can see the signature: Roderick.


The ghost sign is to the left, on the taller building. 
We cropped this to include the Seneca postcard-style sign on the right.


There's some disagreement, but some of us see the word "Flour"
along the top, towards the right side.


A Google image search turns up a number of other similar signs, many painted with blue.
And endorsements by Shoeless Joe Jackson.




On the west side of the building with the Cremo sign: Furniture?
