I LOVE this blog… it makes me realize what a boring person I am… having grown up near Philly, I saw these ghost signs quite frequently. And yet, I always thought them unsightly.
…now I realize how wrong I was. Seeing them again brings me back to my childhood and it is somehow beautiful. 🙂
Thank you for thinking to preserve the images!
