We visited the town in the Clippings feature recently. Now let’s see what it looks like.

A handsome building. A bit too much sign, but it looks prosperous, and the massing of the sign plays well with the building.

Well, that’s not auspicious.

An old 20s building in a rote caul, unloved and abandoned? Is this a sign of what’s to come? Let’s find out.

Someone wanted to make sure everyone knew where the entrance was.

Do we have a previous shot?

Ah. Not often you see a bank pull out.

It won’t always work out as well as hoped, but you can do a lot!

A sign from a more prosperous time, when signage mattered.

It’s not even the best sign. But if that’s all that’s left, it stands out.

Starting to sense a pattern.

I wonder if the owner of the building above added this little annex after the space became available.

Mysteries we’ll never solve.

Over and over, the same “modernization.” Note the ceramic tiles on the building on the right.

Probably a 40s makeover.

Interesting variance at the top.

It seems that everything built in the commercial style has lost its will to live.

Once there was a sign.

Once the arrow lit up, you know.

What was this?

		Ah.

As we always say: greenery! That’ll bring the shoppers back.

Post-war building; stone’s probably original.

One of those peculiar buildings that put the basement above ground.

And by “underground” we mean “above ground.”

Roger that.

Wish it had all been better.
