The thinner additive sign painters use most!

This was painted in the 1990s by a group of sign painters to honor an old sign painter. I think that’s him pictured there. Ben Schonman is one painter I know was involved in this project. – Doug K – comment on Portland Building Ads

Queens Blvd & 71st © Nick Hirshon

I’m learning from you to snap these signs during their potentially brief time of exposure. Crews recently tore down a row of small businesses along Queens Boulevard between 71st Road and 71st Drive. They exposed the blue ad on the bottom of the photograph. Looks like there’s something beneath it, too, but I couldn’t see it from the street. – Nick Hirshon

  • Dixon Dry Goods – Grants Pass, OR – Sept. 1, 2009

The Dixon Dry Goods Building was constructed following the January 1894 fire that destroyed nearly the entire block.The Dixon Dry Goods business operated in the building until 1911. Since then the building has had a variety of businesses in it. The current business, “Never A Bum Steer” moved to this location in 1994. The building was renovated in 1994 and the Dixon Dry Goods sign on the front of the building was probably redone or added at that time. The signs on the upper west wall are most likely original and very difficult to read. – Waymarking – Volcano Guy
