This is nothing major but it gives these particular buildings a finishing touch. I have an old crumbling Harpers Weekly that had a few ads that I could use on these buildings. The photographer is out front taking shots of his new sign. The photo shop and the print shop get new signs. The fence around the photographers shop is actually a railroad track from an H. O. train set.
Nice Signage really like the font used
