More from Missouri

Still around downtown St. Joe.

Once upon a time it was a store. Now it's lofts.

Once upon a time, in order to buy something, one had to go to a store.

Many times, these stores were clustered together in what was termed "downtown."

St. Joseph was no different.

St. Joe Redux

Wright's Jewelry

Dearest Reader, we apologize for not updating more recently.

However, we were in Philadelphia, PA, hunting that fine city's ghost signs.

We shall bring you those, once we have exhausted our collection from St. Joseph, MO.

And this could take a while.

Downtown St. Joe

We glanced at Google Streetview before the trip to St. Joseph, and spotted this sign along with a couple of others.

We figured we'd make a quick stop, maybe 30 minutes, for a few photos.

We ended up spending 90 minutes, because we just kept finding more and more ghost signs.

What Helicopter?

I don't see a helicopter.

So far, we've shown you a sampling of St. Joseph's industrial area.

Next week, we move into the downtown and bring you more commercial 

ghost signage.
