On the FC Pilsen walking tour back in June, there was mention of the neon signs, mostly gone now. We did see this one on the corner of 21st and Leavitt. Of course the picture does not show the name but I *think* it was a florist.

As a kid back in the 50s there was a neon HARDWARE sign just down the block from where we lived a block or so from where this photo was taken. Long gone now.
How do you remember all this stuff ? And from so many parts of the city.

Flickr permissions fixed now but Frank came through with a much better view of the flower shop.
Thanks Frank.
