A faded past

We were walking towards the Library downtown today when Melody spotted this old sign on the side of the Ramsey Building which was once home to the T. Eaton Department Store.
I have walked past this building so many times and somehow I have always missed this until today. So I tip my hat to my wonderful wife who has been such a great part of our 365 project. Have a wonderful weekend everyone

[Lynne]

Nice capture on this one. Like the B&W.

[Terry]

great texture

[Janet Shaffer]

Beautiful shot!

[Kerri]

Wonderfully captured

[karenann]

Beautiful capture of textures and color ... thanks to Melody's great eye!!

[tony j sisti]

A very nice find, I wonder how old this sign must be? I seems to be way back when anyone referred to a Super Market or Grocery store as a Groceteria ..........

[Shirley Chetwynd]

fabulous find, well done to Melody for spotting it and to you for capturing it. have a great weekend yourselves.

[suzanne macneil]

I love this! Faint images of times past.

[Cindy Rez]

Great eye Melody!!!

[Kimmi]

nice textures

[summerfield]

this is nice! i love to see things like this, but so far, around here, i've only seen one. everything's been torn down for the sake of modern buildings. melody's got great eye for photos. have you bought her her camera yet? :-)

[Kim]

Love the aged look this has. Nice find!

[Margo E. Dearbhail]

[bkb in the city]

@shepardx2 I wish they still did those today

[bkb in the city]

@kimshots Thanks Kim

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield That is too bad about old buildings being torn down. Melody is still deciding what camera she wants

[bkb in the city]

@kimmistephens I thought the b/w would add to the aged brick look

[bkb in the city]

@cindyrez I concur with those sentiments

[bkb in the city]

@366days That is one of the things I like about them

[bkb in the city]

@http365proj Thank you very much

[bkb in the city]

@tonyjsisti It dates back to the late 1920's

[bkb in the city]

@karenann Thanks indeed

[bkb in the city]

@kerristephens Thank you

[Mike McCarty]

I enjoy finding old signs like this. Just a couple of days ago I spotted one where they had just torn down the building that was hiding it.

[Anne ❀]

Wow what a terrific find. Nice B&W.

[bkb in the city]

@leilaboyd Thanks Leila

[Mike McCarty]

@bkbinthecity I did, but there wasn't much left of it. You could make out the word Linoleum, but the store name was gone.

the big mall in downtown Toronto is still called the Eaton Centre even though the Eaton company went bankrupt in 1999. This looks like a sign from way before then.
