WOW: Derek Schille sent in the image above. He added this in the transmission: “Saw this sign at in an area I must have driven through a thousand times. Don’t know how I missed this before. Interstate 35E and State Highway 13 in St. Paul.” Nothing like a cold day in Minnesota, and a liquor store filled with millions of drops and drops of possibility. - - - - DOING THE “SPOT UV” STUFF RIGHT NOW: Just about wrapped with the Union catalog. Too busy to dig anything else up. Seeing light at the end of the tunnel, though.

Hey! That’s right by my house. In fact, I picked up a 12-pack of Red Stripe from Chet’s that I’m drinking while I type! Want to know an interesting fact about this sign? The liquor store is pretty new and independently run. Somebody made a design decision to either preserve a vintage sign, or go through the trouble of recreating a mid-20th century iconic typeface. Here it is in it’s glowing glory.. http://flickr.com/photos/anglerove/2308887157/in/pool-low-light-photography Posted by: The Wallbanger on 11/25/08 at 9:40 PM
I’m thinking Chet had color palette input. Posted by: Peteski on 11/27/08 at 2:55 PM
