@WestEndCassidy You can still see the Famous Players logo ghosting through too.

[Winnipeg Ghost Signs @fadingads]

@livingprairie1 The permit allowed the additional windows. Unfortunately, while a character defining element, the ghost signs aren't protected.

Sad to see this #ghostsign go. Catch it while you can. https://t.co/0P7d1WXTOp

[Michael Pratt @MikePrattPhotos]

I get sad when I see our already too few ghost signs getting hacked up or painted over completely. Frustrating. #Winnipeg

@brent_bellamy This summer, @craigwinslow will be launching an AR app that will let users overlay a fresh coat of digital paint on five #winnipeg #ghostsigns. In the meantime, this will have to do https://t.co/oJlGnrV4JO

The layers of this Exchange District Ghost Sign peeled back and brought to life through projection is awesome. Done with a $10k government grant. Let’s find $100k to do 10 signs across the district and make it a unique Winnipeg attraction! @TourismWPG @Ex_District_Wpg
