HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Hiding in plain sight… Have you ever looked at an older building and noticed the faint hint of a sign from days gone by? That’s what is often referred to as a ‘ghost sign.’
More specifically, a ghost sign is an old hand-painted advertising sign that’s been preserved, if only in part, on a building.
It may be hard to notice them sometimes, but if you stop and look closely, you’ll be surprised how many you start noticing! Take a look at some lingering around downtown Hendersonville.
