    I feel like so many things from our past that are slipping away, attempts should be made to coat and preserve any of theses fading works of art.

    Thanks so much -- this was fascinating, and I loved Ms. Bynum's enthusiasm and dedication to historic preservation.

    My favorite is the Prohibition sign in Fells Point. Quite appropriate.

    I loved this episode. What a great and vibrant guest appearance. She should publish a book of her photography. Johns as always I enjoy your presentation. Wonderfully prepared and charming.

    St. Louis is FULL of these ghost signs too! I've been calling them "label scars" and started documenting them. Cool subject!

    Yep, there was one at the alley on Streeper St near Jefferson that is gone. There was also a building size painted sign in black and white on Mount Royal near the Fallsway for the Maryland Anti-Vivisection Society. Saw it every weekday on my way to school at the Maryland Institute. Thank you for your work!

    Very interesting! I don't live in Baltimore anymore but grew up there. I guess I took those signs completely for granted. Now I want to go back and find some of them. I am glad Lashelle is photographing as many as she can find ... or as many as find her.

    when you pass over the hanover street bridge on your right once you enter into the city you see a sign about coal on the side of a building.

    Wish they would seal these signs to prevent further decay or something, declair them a historical thing.

    The paint should be stabilized or there will be no ghost signs.

    I drive by that sign every day. The building looks to be a church but has no windows.

    Pompeii was destroyed in 79 CE (AD), not BCE (BC). But otherwise a great talk as always!
