In May, FreshWater Cleveland ran managing photographer Bob Perkoski’s photo essay “Ghost Signs of CLE”—signs that are relics of 19th and early 20th Centuries—in a time before modern billboards and neon lights—painted by walldogs who are long gone.
The series was so well-received that we decided to run another installment. This time, with the contributions of local photographer Jeff Christner.
