Three Revisits, and a Newbie

Up along McMicken, around the Mockbee building.

How this is sheared off is fascinating.

Obviously, there was a building there, protecting what we see now.

But someone took the time to remove what was above the now absent roofline.

And a scant 20 yards away, our new find:

Faded, but still visible, if not legible.

A New Look at an Old Favorite

Sure, we've featured the Mockbee building many a times. And there's good reason we keep coming back to it.

There's so much going on. 

There's so many details.

So much layering.

So many former uses for the building. 

For instance, can you see the "Outdoor Advertising" or the "Signs" signs?

Still Open

With a beautiful sign, hidden out back.

Cool Sweet Smoke

There has to be a good explanation for why this beauty has escaped our attention before now.

It's on McMicken, near Colerain, and very close to the Mockbee.

All we can offer is that we saw it years ago, but the lighting was bad, and we filed it away for a future shoot, and forgot about it.

Return of the King

We've been through this intersection, Warner and Wheeler, a few times, and never noticed anything, until yesterday, when Elvish magic revealed this.

*Yes, we know the character from Lord of the Rings is actually Aragorn, but we couldn't resist.
