    This store on Victoria Dr. at William St. recently had its dreary stucco removed, unexpectedly revealing this 1920s ad.

    Read about the bakery's history here, and see a photo of it before most of the clapboard was removed. Click through the slide show to see other uncovered (then recovered) ghost ads in Vancouver.

      I wonder how the new pizzeria owner will save and integrate the ad. I kind of feel sorry for them, having this unwanted responsibility!

      Yup it seems to be thrust upon them and they have to follow through now, with all the attention the reveal is getting...
