do not block alley

 

The sign on the corner admonishes motorists "do not block alley."  That's because what appears to be a ghost sign actually advertises a working dry cleaners.  There is easy access in the alley to the door as well as a 24 hour drop box. I found historic downtown Coleman quite interesting and well-worth the detour from the highway.

The University Cleaners--not on University Avenue but on Avenue G-- has been closed most of this millennium-- probably longer than the Famous Department Store next door.  However, shadows from the afternoon sun still show the sign painted on the front window "6 pieces for $11.49."
