Block of Text

I love Decatur. I walk around the square downtown regularly. It was fun to take specific note of the typography for a change. It becomes such a part of the landscape that it's surprisingly easy to overlook. Here are some photos of various signs and random text scattered across the buildings, streets, and various other structures of Ponce de Leon Avenue.

 The open sign for Heliotrope, a small gift shop/boutique

The signage for the Pinewood, a small cocktail bar. Love the clean lines of their logo. 

The iconic painted front of Decatur CD.  

This was on the old Terra Mater building, below the large mural on the side.  

This sign is tucked away between an old house and the Marley tavern. It's interesting because it's in such an odd spot, and the space in the back is very junked up with random scraps of lumber and metal. 

An old Bass barrel sitting neglected outside. I might have to give this a home... 

A fire hydrant in desperate need of painting. This is most certainly NOT up to code. 

There's text even in the sidewalk. 

Pretty nicely made signs, especially considering they sit on top of street drains. 

A different store is in this building now, but the faded old Melrose on Ponce artwork remains. 

Apparently this is where Storm lives.
