A look at the city's past through its barely-remembered commercial signs.

Soylent Purple?
This is going to be a quick one. I've been home sick from work, which means being both bored and not terribly motivated, which seemed like a good time to put up this sign. It's not paint. It's not technically a ghost. But I liked the combination of the aging painted metal sign and the aging metal alarm.
A Yahoo user says Global Surplus Machinery is a scientist's dream, filled with both good stuff and junk. This is a pretty cool picture of the place from behind during twilight. Otherwise, the place doesn't seem to have much of a footprint on the interwebs.
The alarm is from Viking. I guess that's probably this one. But maybe it's this one. At least it isn't this one.
