This morning I was reading the latest HR mag May/2020, on the last page it had an article by contributor David Frieberger reminiscing about his past travels on Old Route 66, and he was sharing his sadness about the loss of 'artifacts" from past eras, like the still hanging "De Soto Plymouth" sign on a long closed building/gas station from 1935.
I can relate.
i read the same article and can also relate. the old chrysler/plymouth dealership here closed around 1982 or so. the building was transformed into a 7-11, then a health service/doctors office complex.
before becoming a dealership, it was a penzoil gas station/service place.
the local historical committee placed a sign board across the street showing a picture of how the place looked in the thirties, while you are looking at the present building. that board also has text telling of the history of it until today.
