The discovery of ghost signs in cities, such as Vancouver, is a delightful yet bittersweet experience. These signs, painted directly onto buildings in the past, often resurface during development but are usually covered up or destroyed again. Most of these signs are found in and around Vancouver's downtown area, with examples like an ad for "4X" bread on Hastings Street and an old movie poster for "Grandma's Boy."
