Automobile Architecture 3

5608 N. Florida Avenue - Dealer's Choice

We have many used car lots in Seminole Heights. The most unliked of our scenic features. Asphalt or dirt lots filled with cars, ugly chain link fences, and used car salesman. (I sometimes wonder if the chain link fences are as much to protect us by keeping the used car salesmen in as it is to protect the cars from being stolen.) The only redemeeming quality (quality and used cars - oxymoron?) are the old interesting signs. If the car lots go away, I hope the businesses that replace them keep the signs. These signs are part of the historic fabric of the neighborhood. (Of course they are a loud fabric like plaid.) We do not see signs like this anymore.
