These are on the old RR station in Green Bay. It is now a brew pub. Good food. One has been repainted- one hasn’t. Cheers, Bob

After an Internet search, I found a phone number and address for Macey Sign Co. (38 Mason Street, Worcester, MA 01610), a family run business since 1910. The Cotter’s Leather Goods sign was one of the first they were commissioned to paint according to the owner.

Join us for an inspirational evening with artist/photographer Frank H. Jump.
Jump was given a few years to live in 1986, after being diagnosed with HIV. After enrolling in a Bachelors Degree Program in 1996, Jump started taking pictures of “fading ads” as a metaphor to his own survival. Through art, perseverance and hope, he continued to thrive and inspire others through his photography.
Jump became known in 1998 with an exhibition of his work at The N-Y Historical Society, and was featured on the cover of the New York Times Metro section in July 1998.

Jump has since entered the NYC Teaching Fellows Program and received his Masters of Science in Education at Brooklyn College in 2003. Recently, Jump received a second Masters of Science in Instructional Technology.

During our trip to Boston this summer, Vincenzo and I took a detour through Worcester MA. I’ve posted a few from Worcester off Main Street: Owl Shop; Marcus; & Worcester Auto Painting. Here’s a few more coming up over the next week.

Previously posted another image of this wall entitled Bread (on Sutphin Blvd) but have since identified a possible name of the business. This pentimento also has the words “Castle” and “Beach” peeking through. Any leads on this, please comment.
