Here and there on some of the older buildings, if you look close- ly enough, you can see the past appearing as faded or painted-over business names or advertisements on the brick walls.

Our readers are invited to send photos of historic building signs, unique advertising signs and signs that have been repainted and restored. Photos and information should be sent to [email protected] and the submitter will be credited with the photo. This restored Coca-Cola sign at Broadway and Central in Knoxville is an example of how fading old advertising displays can be repainted. The 5¢ on the sign gives you an idea of just how old the original sign was. (Photo by Mike Steely)
