Coca Cola / Senart's Oyster House

8th and G SE, Washington D.C.

Some lovely green color left in these:

Drink Coca Cola It's Refreshing 5c

Senart's Oyster House







Unfortunately I wasn't able to capture many ghost signs while visiting the east coast; either they were a blur as I whizzed past on the train or it was too dark and I was too far away to capture them. I did manage to get this fantastic Coca Cola / Senart's ad since it was street level and very easily accessible. This is my second Coca Cola sign, neither of which are in Seattle. I believe that's "2 and 0" in baseball speak.

Boss of the Road

Old Sacramento, CA

Visited my hometown last week and came across this lovely specimen. Surprisingly, not much else in the way of ghosties in Old Sacramento- this was the only one I could find.

Union Made Overalls
The Watchdog of Quality

and above that:
Morelos Hotel
....week and up


and under all of it, another illegible sign

Coca-Cola: Vancouver


This isn't technically a ghost sign of the last outpost, but rather a cool find while on a quick weekender in Vancouver. Vancouver seems to have retained very little in the way of ghostie remnants of the late 19th-early 20th centuries, but it did provide my very first Coca-Cola ghost sign!
