I got a letter this morning, what do you reckon it read? It said the gal you love is dead...

While driving around I noticed an old painted sign I had never seen before. I went to take pictures. While I was there I realized why I had never seen it before, because there used to be a building in the way...





1. Howard Drug Co. later Hillen Tire...


2. They are rehabbing the building next door so I figured that the Hillen would be rehabbed into something as well...

Then I noticed a painted sign...

5. Ruse and Company, Store Office Bank Bar Drug, Fixtures...


6. Take a step back, huh...


7. I think this painted sign may have been uncovered when the building was removed. It says something Furniture. I know Furncraft Furniture occupied that building but it appears to say a different name...


8. Tile work...


Down the street...

10. Saw this for the first time, never noticed it before. It says it was a Female High School at one time...


11. Looks like it was built in 1889...

13. I wish some crackhead would bust a door in so I can go inside...
