Sign of the Month for November, 2022

Hand painted signs on the side of buildings were a common way to advertise businesses – often the ones in the buildings on which the sign appeared. Richmond has many of these surviving old signs, but I was surprised to come across this very modest one in the Oregon Hill neighborhood. “Notions” is a once-trendy noun for retailers that has gone out of style. Perhaps it is as old as Route 1?
