Website Updates: More Signs (part 2)

Let’s start with a couple of Canadian signs. This restaurant in Surrey, BC closed in 2021 and the sign stuck around a couple of years before it was removed. The owners have it in storage:

The Les Pin Motel in Granby, QC…:

is looking pretty rough now. I’m worried about this one:

This Norge Village sign in Oakland, CA is gone now — the panels have been replaced with new ones for another business:

This Norge Village Norgetown Ball (the ones with stripes) in Largo, FL was recently adapted for Gulfside Pizza & Subs. I’m glad to see that they are lighting it at night (from their website):

Moving on to the Rexall signs section. These signs in Crossett, AR are gone now:

This store and sign in Homestead, FL are gone now:

This store in Belen, NM closed in 2022 and these signs are gone:

This sign in Crescent, OK is gone now. A new drug store moved in around 2022 and I bet this rough but beautiful sign was chucked:

I never got to shoot this sign in Cumberland, MD:

But now, never mind, plastic letters:

The Poist Gas Co. sign in Laurel, MD was recently repainted:

The Hotel E.F. Young Jr. in Meridian, MS has been demolished. This sign is gone but it might have been saved:

The hotel’s canopy sign is now sitting on the ground across the street:

This sign in Philadelphia, MS and the building next to it are gone at StreetView. BUT! I emailed the station and the sign was moved to the new location downtown. I’m waiting to hear back about whether it’s inside or outside since StreetView doesn’t show it at that spot yet. Here’s my photo pre-move:

This sign in West Point, MS is gone now. The store closed in 2021:

This store and sign in Hampton, SC are gone now:

This sign in Lexington, KY:

was adapted last year. At least they left the horse at the top:

This building and sign (and much of the city of Mayfield, KY) were destroyed to a tornado. It’s still shocking to see all the empty lots at StreetView. Here’s one of my photos from before that:
