This elegant sign is taped on the window of Morningstar Coffee House in Grand Rapids.

Okay, okay, I admit it. I Photoshopped this one a little bit. The sign really said “Hinman,” not “Human,” but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a dumb joke.

I like the retro look of this sign, but the name of the restaurant isn’t going to fool me into eating there.

If you’re looking for an artificial limb, don’t try to go to E. H. Rowley Co. It looks like they’ve been closed for some time now. Then again, they might have just moved. Maybe it’s best to consult your local Yellow Pages.

This wall-full of ads had been hidden from public view for many years until recently, when the city tore down the adjacent parking ramp.
