The Ranch Motel's vintage neon sign. In San Antonio, Texas.
Today, in downtown San Antonio: Ghost signs: furniture and Coca-Cola!
More from Lockhart, Texas: Ghost sign for my aunt's father's old store -- on the courthouse square; a block away from where the world-renowned original Kreuz Market (now home to Smitty's BBQ) was located. Barbecue Mecca.
