East Franklin and North 17th Streets, by the Farmers' Market
I think that the "Mail Orders Solicited" is bleeding through from a previous sign. And look, more Tru-Ade! If only Tru-Ade had spent as much money on signage as Coca Cola, we might still be drinking it today.
This building was a shell for as long as I could remember, but a few years ago we saw signs of activity inside. Now it's ready for the next diner to move on in. Whoever restored it even managed to preserve the tiling before the door either. I'll post a picture of that tomorrow.
