Ghost Signs on the Danforth

This picture is not mine, but when I finally got around to Broadview and Danforth....the sign had been painted over, alas.

It was The Broadview Meat Market, just north of Danforth (it's now a "Daisy Mart") or maybe that's gone now too.



There are quite a few old adverts on Danforth, and I still have not photographed all of them.

This is Byers Garage, just opposite Playter Blvd.
Unfortunately, the Graffiti folks have been at this sign; causing the owners of the building to paint over it.
In a few months this will also disappear, I guess.

There is one small sign further along "The Danforth" near the pool hall known as "Ales & Rails".

As yet, I have not got that one.

Then there is this one, around Woodbine.
It can only be seen in winter, when the tree has shed its canopy.
It seems like this wool shop used to be a butcher's store.




Then near Victoria Park, there is still the old "New Era Appliances" sign hanging on the wall of what used to be "Sibley's".
In fact the street at the corner was probably renamed many years ago.

This will be another picture to add to my collection.
