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!
