Well here we are, day seven. One full week of signs. I hope everyone has enjoyed the selection of local signage we have tried to display. We've had fun running around town searching out some of the more unique or ornate signs. For the final day we picked Olympic Food Equipment, a small family owned business in the Tumwater area. They specialize in restaurant equipment, supplies & furnishings. The tower which holds this clock and sign are easily visible from the freeway.
Thanks to everyone for your nice comments this past week.

Day four takes us back into downtown Olympia to The Capitol Theater. It was built in 1924 during the time of vaudeville and silent film. It is currently run by The Olympia Film Society, a non-profit, community-based , volunteer-run arts organization. It holds 772 seated, 1100 standing room, and has a smaller performance area called The Backstage which holds up to 150 people standing room. As you can imagine, you can see this sign several blocks away.

This little piggy hangs outside one of the best smelling restaurants in downtown Olympia. It's Southbay Dickerson's BBQ. We personally haven't tried it yet, but one of these days. Maybe this summer as I believe you can dine alfresco.

Day two takes us just a few blocks from yesterday's photo. Ralph's Thriftway is one of those stores that seems like it's always been there. Actually it opened in November of 1956. It replaced Ralph Storman's first store which was built in 1944 in downtown Olympia called Ralph's Food Center.

I thought it would be fun to do a week of signs. Some old, some new, colorful & hopefully interesting.
Day one is from Lew Rents in Olympia. They are a tool & equipment rental company that has been in business for over 50 years. The sign is simple, but eye catching.
