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.

 

Revealed

In October 2017, a building in the 900 block of State Avenue started to fall apart.

It, and a neighbor were demolished, revealing this beauty.

You'll recognize the May, Stern names; they're so prevalent they have their own category among local ghost signs.

And this piece of artwork is signed.

Leaping to the southeast corner of Downtown and ahead to the late 20th Century, we find this ad for Grand Victoria Casino, nee Rising Star Casino.

It's usually covered by a vinyl beer ad.

And Another One's Gone, And Another One's Gone...

Parents, wake up.  History is disappearing.

(As previously seen.)

May Stern

Sandwiched between two vacant homes, on State Avenue.

If we find one more May Stern, it will have to have its own category.

Now a Factory

 

At Gest and Depot.  My first thought was to label it Queensgate, but it's not. It's Lower Price Hill.

 

And although the week is over, the theme will continue into next week.

Way to go, Gus

As Visualingual points out, it's not his first appearance here.  We've seen his work Downtown.  And as a matter of fact, there's a few I may have to revisit in person, to get a better look for his "signature".

Forgetfulness

I put off posting this for a while.  Not because it's a lousy picture, but because I couldn't remember where I took it.  This neighborhood has some good examples, overall.  This is one of the weaker ones.

 

If you want to see the better ones, click on the "Lower Price Hill" below.  I've expanded the Labels to cover some categories other than neighborhood, and made a couple of corrections.  There were several signs listed as Queensgate, when technically, they're in LPH.  Still a work in progress.  Oh, and I think the new look/darker background makes the photos pop a little bit more, don't you?

Redux

Seen this one before, but it's worth revisiting.  Nicely visible from the 8th Street Viaduct.

Making Up for Lost Time

Sometimes life travels fast, and days go by without a chance to update.  So, here's several signs from the same building: the Progress Sign Company, Queensgate.  AKA, Anchor something-or-other. 

Once Again...

 

... we break the rule about businesses still in business.

See what I did there? It looks like a crack house?  Get it?  Funny, huh?

Burns Street

Lower Price Hill.  Not long after this picture, someone had a scaffolding up against it.  Whether it was for cosmetic or structural repair is unclear.

Queensgate Reducks

This was originally featured in June, shot from the 8th Street Viaduct, as I was driving.  I knew there was more to it than what I could see at 35 mph, but didn't know how much more.
