" Foto Fair. " Vintage hand made and hand painted sign. Columbia Street, downtown. This sign is on an old custom photo store which has been abandoned and vacant for decades. It won't be there much longer as gentrification expands or some ebayer steals it after I've drawn attention to it here!

" Bill's Barber Shop." 1500 Whitesboro Street. Dicey hood. Homicide. Not a place to be late
at night. Best of luck to Bill's for their courageous stand and optimism.
"Tropicana Spanish Restaurant." West Utica. Closed circa 2013.
" R.E.B. Demolition. " Lafayette Street, downtown.
" Skate - A -Rama. " I love the folky "third world" authenticity of this roller skating rink
exterior which reminds me of a beach front dance club in Puerto Cortes, Honduras covered
with hand painted murals that I observed in the early 1990s. Whitesboro Street, west Utica.
