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.
At least it's been documented.
That is a shame for so many reasons.
Well the place was out on a limb
Sad to see your sign has "given up the ghost".
That 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.
Change 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.
...gentrification has its downside! Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome photo. Cool colors.
Very sad indeed, the building was beautiful!
Sad indeed. (╥﹏╥)
And so everything changes.
Sad about the landmark and ghost sign. Changes can be good and bad.
Take care, enjoy your day!
That is a loss but change is always occurring. It lives in your heart
I hope they are all getting photographed.
