And some images of a fading past…
There are always some who call those days “the good ole days”. Then there are others who point out the many ways in which those days weren’t actually so wunderbar. Which are you? Maybe it is sort of a mixture of both sentiments?
I do lament the passing of some pretty nice wall advertising art (the “fading ads”, “brick ads”, or “ghost signs“) in old Cheyenne. I have no idea if the City fathers and mothers have plans to preserve any of it, but it would be terrific to have it restored. (See my previous posts on this subject at Henry George Cigars and Ghost Signs.)

Daniel,
Hello, I am currently building a website for a tactical urbanization group for Cheyenne. I am looking to possibly use some of you images for the site and am inquiring on how to do so. Please let me know if this would be possible.
Thanks
