A fire last year destroyed a building here in Wyandotte, mi.
Tore down a wall and it revealed a nice old wall sign.

We had the most beautiful old ghost Coca-Cola ad and another uncovered when a building was torn down on main street several years ago. The city couldn't wait to get it covered up. :banghead:
 
There is an old mural just like that (Gold Medal, same slogan and all) on a building in Minonk, Illinois, although it's exposed to the elements and it's almost completely faded out of existence.

we had a nice old one on the side of a brick building in our town but they had someone come and re-paint it all fresh and new which was stupid as now it is a new wall sign with nothing of the old left. they should have left it alone

That's like the fool who had an very old rare antique sward covered with rust and patina, he used a buffer to remove the old finish and make it shinny, reducing the value to almost nothing.:omg:

I have been meaning to take a picture of this triple ghost sign for so long now and I did a few weeks ago. I was going to debut it on instagram but this is so perfect.

Theres a logan grill at the top then a lumber king in the middle and a coca cola to finish it off. Isnt that great.

I took a high school crush to that grill now it is going to turn into some yuppie coffee shop.
