As an addition to my comment above, has anyone noticed how, when a period building is transformed into a new business, it is often so poorly done? Neon signs and interesting typefaces are replaced with generic screened or interior-lit signage, rocket- or boomerang-type designs are torn down, period colors are covered over with the same stuff as the guy next door. It's unfortunate that some of the details that made those old buildings great (and unusual) are the first to be ripped down when the new people move in.
