I was very sad to see

that Suit Corner, which is the sign in my icon, is now partially covered in a large vinyl banner.

Something…SMITH & BRO, 8th & Chestnut, Old City.

This was the second most inaccesible sign I could think of. It’s very tiny.

1843, 10th & Chestnut, Center City.

I tried to think of the highest most inaccesible sign I could remember that I was never able to get a good picture of before. This was it.

I'm going to try and shoot tomorrow.

I know of some high up ghost signs that I could never really get before now. Hopefully I’ll get some cool shots.

South Side Pizza, South st., South Philly

Do you know what this is? It’s Lorenzo’s. After the fire they tore the wood face off the building, and this was underneath. I haven’t had much of a chance to shoot lately (which is a shame because I got a new zoom lens) but my friend told me about this gem a few weeks ago and I was able to stop by it today.

STREET TYPE PHILLY TRAVEL EDITION

For my friend’s senior Degree Project (it’s like our Graphic Design thesis, but it’s a project, not a paper) we had to travel to Point Pleasant, West Virginia (if you know of it, it can only be for one reason). We had a very specific shot list… but I had to take some sign photos along the way.

I apologize that these are all so different.

The first photo is mine, the second one was taken by this kid.

I really enjoy when you guys tell me what the signs actually say.

I hope you’re at least entertained when I put things like “Stench Machines?” in the caption. When 3 people pointed out that it was stencil, I was like, well that makes more sense.
