Mosha's

Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

North 25th and East Broad Streets

This was the first ghost sign I saw when I moved to Church Hill. There's even a story to go with it.

	F33 says: nice story. I always have thought that the top of the building is really plain. Huge storefront.. arched window.. then .. tiny plain cornice. Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )
	100wordminimum says: You're right. I think the plain cornice goes well with the big, elegant arches, but I wonder if it's original. Victorian era buildings tend to have frills on top of frills. Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )
	The Discreet Charm of Suburbanites says: According to my Church Hill book, Douglas Wilder also worked next door on the left (2507-2509 E. Broad) as attorney. Upstairs from Mosha's was a public hall that hosted a bunch lodges with funny names. Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )
	100wordminimum says: I need to get that book. I think I've seen it before, but I've always objected to how they did much of the photography on trash collection day and the supercans are sitting out on the sidewalks in front of the houses. Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )
	The Discreet Charm of Suburbanites says: The photography in the book is pretty abysmal . I pretty much use it as a reference and to get useless tidbits like the one above. Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )
