It is the Schlieder Building, according to the official documentation of the Owosso Downtown Historic District, which goes on to explain that the left half was built in 1899 and the right half was built circa 1914.

Ghost neon sign for the Republic Hotel, 708 Grant Avenue, in San Francisco, California's Chinatown. The sign remains but the hotel is long gone.

San Francisco 2009

went photo walking with my sister today and yesterday evening. what fun! hung out in China Town this morning and last night we were in North Beach. still need to sort through those shots. and i actually have a bunch from today that i really liked (so i will be posting more later).. but this one stood out at the moment.

but i can't leave without saying that last night was the most expensive photowalk ever! her car got towed! ack. $500- later we got it back. boo. so for all you folks in SF. don't even think of parking on Broadway on a Friday or Saturday night. new towing regulations. and now... looking through my photos i can see it. there were Tow signs everywhere!!!

Signs and buildings that have been long forgotten in San Francisco's Chinatown

Took my dinner here, it was okay. Sad place, totally empty, also doubled as a sports bar(?) with bigscreen TVs and pool tables. Strange, but I liked it.
