Aisle See You Around...
Just a quick update from me tonight, as I've got a prior commitment this evening that will preclude me from posting my normal weekly Kroger update (instead, I'll post tomorrow's normal photoset later today, and just do the Kroger pics tomorrow in its place). Anyway, I was able to finally meet up with l_dawg2000 in person this afternoon, where he very generously gave me one of the aisle signs he scored as well as took my dad and I on a nice tour of his workplace! Pictured above is said aisle sign, with the placard I pilfered this past Sunday (bakeware) and the lone duplicate from the aisle 2 marker (canned meats) underneath. And yep, that's a door in the background, if it gives you some idea how big this thing is!! The plan is to take one side of the orange and green trim and use it to simulate the trim that used to hang along the perimeter of the now-demolished (sniff) millennium Kroger for when I mount the cupola sign on a board and recreate how it looked in the store.
Btw - I took better pictures of my décor scores (such as the linked cupola icon pic), so I'll try to remember to replace the existing ones with those better ones one of these days XD (EDIT: done!) My OB Kroger pics originally intended for tomorrow are freshly posted, since, as noted, those swapped places with my weekly Hdo Kroger update. Anyway: it was nice meeting you, l_dawg, and thanks again! :)
UPDATE: I've also replaced (well, edited) this photo with a picture taken in better lighting, albeit much later than those other ones :P The one on the left is the one referenced in the description here (what with the door and all), taken on October 14th, 2016. The new one is on the right and shows the aisle sign in its current (and, given its size, possibly permanent...) dwelling, our garage, on January 29th, 2017.
Approximate dimensions: of the sign itself, 48" across by 32" tall; of a singular placard, 24" across by 4.5" tall

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
