Indianapolis, Part Two

As viewed from atop the Soldiers and Sailors 

Monument in Monument Circle.

 It's the north side of a building 

featured in the previous entry.

Across the top, we can make out "..... Building"

and below that: ".... Second Floor"

We prefer painted ghost sigsn,

but this was still rather cool.

(As always, click to enlargen.)

Throw me the idol. I throw you the whip

 

You might think we're looking at the McQuat, or even the Conrad signs. 
But no. It's the red building in the middle.

"Tailoring Co.

Second Floor" is all we can make out.

We were in Indianapolis recently.

That's where the title of this entry comes from:
It's a line from Raiders of the Lost Ark, 

whose main character is nicknamed Indiana.

Yes. It's a stretch. Sorry.

Sharp-eyed readers will notice the McQuat sign again.

Experienced ghost sign hunters know that if there's one

ghost sign, there's a good chance there are others

nearby.

Even if they're illegible.

 

Downtown Indianapolis doesn't have a lot of ghost signs.

Many of the buildings are new.

And many of the old ones are limestone,

which, correct me if I'm wrong,

isn't easily paintable because 

it "drinks" the paint.
