ow, oh wow, oh wow.
This is another picture that’s been reworked and cropped. What I didn’t notice until I enlarged it are some of the details.
The upstairs windows are new, if new means chopped out of the wall in the late 1800s.
How do I know?
Aside from the sloppy finishing job of those windows, my processing sharpened and brought out everything. There are letters all over that wall advertising something. They are part of a so-called ghost sign.
I’d have to do some research to know what this building was in the before times. Today, the upstairs is an apartment, maybe two. Downstairs is where a pizza place called The Louisiana Pizza Kitchen lives.
The pizza place was one of a couple of restaurants opened in the early days after Hurricane Katrina blew through. Most people went there for lunch because pizza. We could take it to go.
So.
Now I’m interested. A little research is in order.
Maybe I’ll get to photograph from the inside out.
