Don’t know if it’s still there, but this was on Reid Ave (Malcolm X), just N of Gates Ave in Bed-Stuy. I took it in 1988 – Kevin

Hi Frank-
Saw your blog recently for the first time and took this picture on Friday. It may not qualify as a good picture because of the angle. Maybe someone else can visit it. I also attached a comparative view of pre-demolition. I can’t imagine how old the sign is.
Best,

Dear Valerie-
The only way to tell the age of this ad is from finding out when the building that was demolished was originally built – first obscuring this image. My guess would be 1890-1900. The images are great. Would like to take a trip uptown and get some shots before it gets covered again. Thanks so much and glad you enjoy the blog.

It’s not an ad, but a no parking sign in Old Montreal. Just started reading your blog a few weeks ago, saw this in my collection of photographs from last summer and thought I’d submit if you take them. You can credit the image to Jaron Whittingham.
Keep up the good work!
