George's Quality Footwear

My husband and I started a theatre festival here in Fredericton a decade ago, along with a couple of other folks. Our designer used this sign--one of the last neon relics of the downtown landscape--as the inspiration for the festival's logo.

Earlier this year, the longtime owner of George's retired and shut down the business. I now worry about where the sign will eventually end up.

So ends my BOLD week. Next week's prompt might be scary or it might be fun: Fair is foul OR fowl is fare.

  1. I love the sign! It's wonderfully weathered, too.

    I admit to being a bit scared by the new prompt.
