Newly uncovered, and forever gone

 

This plastic molded sign outside a long-closed salon 

at 15th and Elm always held a certain appeal.

It's gone now, but...

Along the 15th Street side of the building we found 

a sign on the door, and...

More recently, the wooden panels were removed

from above the windows, revealing the 

building's use before it was a salon.

And, not too far away...

This sign is gone, along with the building it was

attached to near Central Parkway and Liberty.

More from Fairbury

 

Much more from Fairbury, actually.

These were unreadable to us, but in staring at them, we noticed something else:

You can still buy Salada Tea today.

Glass ghost signs are a rare treat.

Not a lot readable here...

On the right, we can make out the word Crawford, 

Everyone, and the word cheaper.

And on the left, Paint.

And in the middle bottom... and there's something beneath 

the Steakhouse.

Still much more to come.
