Check out this ghost sign displaying Grain and Provision as well as some other lettering, including Coca-Cola on the wall. 02-08

 

 

 

Pepsi Sign
Seneca, SC
Photos and info courtesy Richard Weiss


Seneca is where these ruins of an old storefront building is located. The building has a ghost of a Pepsi sign on its side. Since the word "cola" is mostly covered by an addition that in itself is ancient, the sign must go back a very long time. 03-08
