A friend of mine from Bristol alerted me to this potential photo opportunity the other day. This building, most recently a Chinese Restaurant, is being renovated. The exterior is gradually being stripped down to the original wood in preparation for a completely new facade. What was revealed as they stripped it, though, was the original paint and signage of what I believe was once a community drugstore. This side shows the "Ice Cream" sign painted prominently on the street side, and there's a similar "Ice Cream Soda" sign on the side. I'm trying to find out what the original store was, since the sign triggers some very vague childhood memories that go back to the early '60s. More to come, but that sign sure looks familiar!
Post processing started with a brilliant cold filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted adaptive exposure, contrast, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
