I was wandering around Pioneer Square Seattle, Occidental and Yesler area, and looked up. What a fabulous Ghost sign! Have lunch over Seas! I say there! Save me a seat. But underneath this sign is another earlier one for the Washington State Ferries, and then a sign for Sperry’s Flour Co. Spoiler alert, apparently the Washington State Ferry’s was painted on purpose to look old in 1978. So a created ghost sign over some real ghost signs! But I still love the idea of having lunch over seas!
It sounds like you are overdue for a ferry ride. You can have lunch on there!
I am overdo for one! I need to go do the pikes place area next. Then a ferry ride to…choices..bainbridge…vashon..
Do it! More, more! Do all of the above.
I had no idea what those faded old painted signs were called! “Ghost Signs” this is so good to finally know…thank you!!
I first heard the term applied to a photographer in London whose portfolio was ghost signs…so I figured… Hey I like it! Let’s run with it! 🙂
