This is what first caught my eye.
Most of these old ads have faded beyond recognition, so I'm always tickled when I come across one so readable. And I'm sure at least one of my blog buddies will be just as tickled to see it. 8-]
Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^

Sophiemae,
I love it ! I too love those old buildings and signs.
Now im just trying to figure out where it is... to the west of us,huh
I remember when those things were all over... Am I dating myself? I also remember the old Tallahassee Motor Hotel signs that were everywhere. Every once in a while (a very great while), I'll come across another one in some forgotten place.
Elizabeth, it was over on 69, somewhere south of Two Egg. I think maybe around Dellwood. I think that was the first time we'd taken that route.
Sayre, it's been ages since I last saw one of those signs! Talk about dating oneself... I keep trying to describe to DS how wonderful the old capitol building looked before they erected that disgusting monstrosity behind it. *sigh*
Neat!!!Love old buildings.Especialy if they have a rusty,tin roof.
CC/JJ, yes! I always brake for tin roofs. If we don't sell this place soonly, I'm going to have one put over the deck.
Sophie, that is a wonderful find! Yes, I am tickled to see it. A sign like that, still occupying the context of its own weathered years, is a pure thing. It still touches the past, and we do through it. What a beautiful, unloud way to announce a product, that was.
From my silence, you've inspired me to compose a photo essay using some bottles I have. I'll be sure you know when it posts.
Oh, such an awesome picture of the old building! I love it. I love to paint pictures of old buildings and houses. - And the old sign is wonderful. Orange Crush was my favorite soda pop when I was growing up. - Now I am really dating myself! LOL.
Have a wonderful Lord's Day, Sophie.
In HIS love, G G :)
There is a group up here in NC that travel around taking pictures and viewing those old soft drink ads on the side of old buildings. They did a show on them recently. Now I look for them whenever I'm traveling around this area. Pepsi was invented at New Bern, about 30 miles from where we live.
