Ten Years Ago: Saving Old Signs

July 9th, 2008 · No Comments

This is an image from the NY Times Metro Section from July 9, 1998. It’s posted on the Fading Ad Blog, which is one of our favorites. Period. We got an email from Kevin Walsh of Forgotten NY, who produces another one of our very favorite websites, which said: “I read this and said, I’m gonna do this, too. Frank is the trailblazer. No Frank Jump, no Forgotten NY. The other 2 main inspirations were Jeff Saltzman’s Streetlite Nuts and Steve Anderson’s NYC Roads. This is acknowledged in the ForgottenForeword. All three were on ForgottenTour 1, 6/1/99.”
