A sign we love: ABC television shop on Canal Street
Photo by Jefferson Siegel
This mid-century masterpiece of a sign can be found on Canal Street at Essex Street on the Lower East Side. With its plastic, colorful lettering and faded wording, it's a worthy holdover from another era in the city's retail. The graffiti on the shutter completes the classic look. Thanks to Urbanite contributor Jefferson Siegel for sharing it.

This storefront replaced the box office and entrance for the large theater behind it (the side of which is visible around the corner to the west). Very ornate facade above the always-closed store. Have always wondered if the interior of the theater is still intact, and what used to play there.
