Something…SMITH & BRO, 8th & Chestnut, Old City.
This was the second most inaccesible sign I could think of. It’s very tiny.
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.

I like this one cause you can see the old sign underneath the new sign. Layers.
Upon further inspection this one took up more of the wall than previously thought…still don’t know what it says.
