I came across two great beer ghost signs during a recant vacation in Montana. In Butte I felt like I was in ghost sign heaven!
The Butte Brewing Company, makers of Butte Beer and Butte Special Beer, was founded in 1885 by German immigrant Henry Muntzer. Within 12 years, he had grown his brewery from a five-barrel-a-day operation to a 50 barrel-a-day plant. T.J. Nerny and John Harrington succeeded Muntzer as owners in the early 1900s. After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Butte Brewery was the only local brewery to reopen.
Butte is now on the verge of having the Butte Brewing Company return to operation and with it the brands of Butte Beer and Butte Special Beer.

On the border of Hay Mills and South Yardley on the Coventry Road, is the Old Bill & Bull public house.
It was formerly Hay Mills Police Station.
It replaced a nearby pub called the Bulls Head which was demolished.
The pub was built when the area was still a part of Worcestershire.

The sky was crystal clear blue on the first day of 2017. This sign caught my eye. Perhaps it was because of the superfluous apostrophe. (6115a)
All New Scavenger Hunt - ANSH - Round 54 - Scavenger #14 - Choose a palindrome - numbers or letters.
I hope this is what was required? From a street sign!
The old neon light traffic warning signs (on overpass) are being replaced with electronic signs along the New Jersey Turnpike.

We set out to observe Vancouver as it prepared for the 2010 Olympics. This is part of a photo journal of our observations. We focused on the newest installations in the city including: signage, pageantry and public/street art. Note: the Cygnus team were observers only, we were not involved in the Vancouver 2010 Wayfinding or signage program(s).

Shows a high probability of risk of immediate danger safety signs use can lead to serious injury or death.
Sign in a bank window across from an empty/rehab building in St. Louis. Reflected in the window is a sign for a defunct jewelry store. It amuses me that some people might buy jewelry as part of their retirement process, or that the jeweler might now be retired (as opposed to out of business involuntarily).
Sign reads:
How Well
You Retire Depends
On How Well You Plan Today
Come in to talk about retirement plans that make sense.
Continuing my ghost sign odyssey I offer up another one for observation. According to my research Kerbs, Wertheim, & Schiffer was the maker of General Arthur Cigars which were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The brand was discontinued in 1917, so this sign had to have been painted prior to 1917.
The sign at the top shows that paint was available at the Parchen Drug Co.

When in New York, make sure you go on the Staten Island Ferry. Some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline and the statue of Liberty. And it's free. And has really cool signage!!

After I sold the Kiev 88 I wanted to go with a more portable medium format. I decided to try an old folder. After doing a little research I spoke with Jurgen Kreckel who runs a site called Certo6 and refurbishes vintage folding cameras like the Agfa Isolette and the Zeiss Ikonta. He was very helpful when it came to narrowing down exactly what I was looking for. Anyway, I decided on the Voigtlander Perkeo II. A medium format camera that can actually fit in your pocket!
I'm not much about mentioning film, but I have to admit that I really like the colors in this roll. I used Fuji Pro 160C. I'm writing this mostly so I'll remember next time.
