Was downtown this weekend with my relatives so we decided to check out the old movie sign before it gets demolished. I wonder if anyone will save it. Here's a link to the Sun's story:

'Ghost sign' for 1922 movie reappears at Granville-Robson
By John MacKie, Vancouver Sun February 24, 2012
Ninety years after it was covered up by a building, a "ghost sign" for a 1922 movie has reappeared at Granville and Robson.
The sign promotes the Harold Lloyd comedy Grandma's Boy, which played at the Capitol theatre Oct. 2-7, 1922.
The sign is painted onto the north wall of the Power block at 817 Granville, across the street from where the Capitol opened in 1921. Hence the sign includes a red circle reading "Capitol over there," and features a wonderful disembodied hand with a finger pointing across the street.

The sign reappeared during the demolition of the three-storey Farmer building at 801 Granville. The Farmer building was constructed in 1922, so the Lloyd sign would have been covered up almost immediately after it was painted, and hidden for nine decades.

There have been some lovely views from my condo this winter.

Ty had already been in several events that day and all he wanted was a little nap in the stall.
