Welcome to Brookfield

 

Brookfield, Missouri, that is.

While we're pretty sure that Pepsi Cola sign is a replica, we're fine with it,

because someone cares enough to keep the artform alive.

Same goes for this on the other side of Downtown Brookfield.

The Sinclair sign looks pretty new, the piano sign looks refreshed,

and the Gooch's, well, it's a shame that's covered.

It seems like we've seen Gooch's signs before, but cannot recall off

the tops of our heads where. 
A search comes up with several restaurants across the country, an American regiment in the War of Jenkins' Ear, a BBQ rub, a New England beach, a funeral home, 

and a online grocery store in Kansas. 

We suspect that that's the Gooch's listed here.

Much more to come from Brookfield. And beyond.

One more from St. Looey

Sometimes they get less legible the closer you get.

It's definitely there, but we can't even begin to guess what it said.

This is another side of a building featured in the previous entry.

 

Ghost Signs of Saint Louis: The Fifth Entry

Maybe it's just the words "sporting goods" but this reminds

us of one in Cincinnati.

Not our usual fare of paint on brick, but it'll do.

Pianos is clearly visible in the upper right hand corner of the building.

This was more readable in person.

Tomorrow: The final entry from Saint Louis?
