Antiques

 

This is an excellent, beautifully weathered sign over the entrance to Palm-Olive Vintage and Antiques; one of my favorite vintage stores in Fresno.  

It is located at the intersection of Palm Avenue and Olive Avenue.

I snapped the top photo on 18 December 2018.

The bottom photo is a screenshot I snagged just now from Google Earth Street View.

Babe

I shot this because of the style of the sign

and just the word itself, "Babe."

It is a commercial storage business.

I like the balance of the blue wall and the blue sky.

I like the lines - the power line, the cinder block rectangles,

the fence and the windows and the bars on the windows,

and especially the shadows of the fence and the window bars.

There are even several horizontal shadows cutting across the wall 

from the multiple power lines above.

And I like the little clouds in the bright blue sky.

Long-closed store,

lingering graphic sign.

Babylon Club

This was a popular night spot

until flooding closed it down several years ago.

Goldstein's

Don't ask,

because

I don't know.

I have not yet summoned the gumption

to visit this establishment during

its hours of operation.
