Krispy Kreme Doughnuts 🍩 in Savannah, Georgia

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts 🍩 in Savannah, Georgia has a #vintage oversize #neonsign that has been in place since at least 1968. The @krispykreme #doughnut company was founded in 1937 in Winston, North Carolina and began to expand in the Southeast in the 1950s including an early store in Savannah. We could not determine whether this #signage is from the store built in the 1950s but the current Krispy Kreme Store at this location, according to public records was built in 1968. If any #KrispyKreme fans know more about this gorgeous #neonsign please let us know! And yes, we had some fresh donuts 🍩 while we were there!

Circo’s Pastry Shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn has been in business since 1945

This Italian 🇮🇹  #bakery has been using the same original family recipes brought over from Sicily by the current owner, Nino Pierdipino. When we took this #analog photo in 2004 for our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” Nino’s son (and 2nd generation owner), Anthony told us that the @circospastryshop #neon #signage is original and was covered by mesh for safety reasons in the 1970s. It has now been uncovered and restored to working condition.

Circo's and 15 other of our #storefront photos are part of the new exhibition “The Business of Brooklyn” at the Brooklyn Historical Society’s @brooklynhistory location at Pierrepoint Street in Brooklyn Heights.

Richard’s Barber Shop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn

 We absolutely love the combination of the #handpainted signage in the window and the #stenciled scissors ✂️, comb, razor, pick, and hairbrush on the roll gate and the letter “P” falling off the main #signage.

This #analog photo from 2004 which appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” and 15 other of our #storefront photos are part of the new exhibition “The Business of Brooklyn” at the Brooklyn Historical Society’s @brooklynhistory location at Pierrepoint Street in Brooklyn Heights.
