Hillcrest Hotel, also known as the Hillcrest Arms Apartment Hotel, is a historic building in Toledo, Ohio, USA. It has nine floors and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It is located at 1601-1621 Madison Avenue.
The Hillcrest was built in 1929. Authors, artists, and business people stayed in the hotel, including Amelia Earhart in 1933. She had an arrow painted on the roof to assist pilots in locating the local airfield.
The hotel closed in 1990. The building was used as an interdenominational Christian center to help homeless people and substance abusers before a 1994 fire closed it. A $12 million remodel in 1999 converted the building to use as a residential apartment building with 106 apartments. Bonds were issued for the building's renovation. The City of Toledo has made up the difference in loan underpayments and is expected to be on the hook for $6.7 million as the building was to be sold in foreclosure in 2009.
Working on a new sign project this week. A recreation out of wood of the COLOR TV by RCA sign that used to be featured as an add on sign on many Motel signs in the 60s throught the 70s.
There are still motels with the black background / multicolored sign still hanging but the RCA TV's have been replaced by flatscreens by Vizzio, Samsung, etc...
I've got the backing board to do next. The letters are 5 & 7/8" tall.
When completed the sign should measure out to around 42" x 8".

Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign"

The sign was constructed with wooden blocks, each with a different depth, so that the sign seems to fade away as you walk past it.
Before 1963, Government Center was known as Scollay Square and what is currently the Blue Line subway platform underground was once called Scollay Under. Recently some false walls were torn down, and the old Scollay Under mosaic tiles were uncovered, and can still be seen on the eastern portion of the platform.

Dogs in Montpellier can read. Any found swimming are collared by the police*. They also do the crawl.
[*A weak joke in English: dogs wear a collar and if the police arrest someone, you are 'collared'. ]
Sign says (translation from German):
Death must be abolished, this damn mess must stop.
Who speaks a word of comfort is a traitor.

Garry E. Boake finally found a spot to write his thanks! All three cards were filled almost resembling the infamous No Rio toilet.
Saw these signs while driving back from the family memorial service. Not sure what the significance of the fish is.

I wanted to get a "Welcome to Canada" sign, so I had my camera all ready when we crossed the bridge into Canada. No sign presented itself, so I put the camera away. 30 miles later we saw one - we had already been in Canada for a half hour, why did they put it there? So I got this sign instead. Next time, I'll be ready.
