Until last year, there was a building on Penn Ave in East Liberty that had a sign painted on the side about Atari repair. It was such a great sign and I was sad when someone painted over it. Lucky for me (and you) there are some other people in Pittsburgh looking at signs. Check out
Pittsburgh Signs Project to see signs or submit pictures of your favorite signs.
