A few ghost signs logged while on a
recent, quick trip through Indiana. Only had some time for quick and casual research so if anyone familiar with Fort Wayne or Angola, Indiana history has some info to share, let it be known in the comments below.
Another Fort Wayne sign was featured
back in January.
In late 2015/early 2016, I published my second book: Fading Ads of Cincinnati, which took a look at the history and remains of the city's fading advertisements or "ghost signs." Since the book's publication, I've kept up on documenting these wherever I find them and keeping updates on the fate of some of the ones from the book.
