Clearing a site for another condo means the end of this ghost sign which I had posted back in 2012 (HERE). I almost feel sadder about the sign going away than the old building which has been a landmark on this corner.

What a shame, at least you have a great photo of it.
ReplyDeleteAt least it's been documented.
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame for so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteWell the place was out on a limb
ReplyDeleteSad to see your sign has "given up the ghost".
ReplyDeleteThat is sad. I like the look of the old building much better. It's too bad they didn't think it was worthy to save. I guess when development wants to expand, money talks. Nice that you captured the ghost sign and the building before this. People will forget about it and probably already have.
ReplyDeleteChange happens whether we like it or not. Sad to see the old buildings and their signs disappear. Never heard of Buckingham Cigarettes. I'm glad cigarettes are now mostly gone. They killed millions of people.
ReplyDelete...gentrification has its downside! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome photo. Cool colors.
ReplyDeleteVery sad indeed, the building was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSad indeed. (╥﹏╥)
ReplyDeleteAnd so everything changes.
ReplyDeleteSad about the landmark and ghost sign. Changes can be good and bad.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day!
That is a loss but change is always occurring. It lives in your heart
ReplyDeleteI hope they are all getting photographed.
