Market Friday

A post for Market Friday hosted by @dswigle, if you haven't followed her yet you should she is one of the kindest and most supportive people here on Hive, a comment from her is like a ray of sunshine on your page.
This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, I am going to share some shots of signs Downtown starting with this one

As you can see the New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park was established in 1996

The park encompasses 34 acres spread over 13 city blocks and includes the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Seamen's Bethel, the schooner Ernestina, and the Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden Museum.

The park commemorates the heritage of the world's preeminent whaling port during the nineteenth century.

The Park is rather unusual in that the only properties owned by the National Park Service are the Visitor Center and the Corson Maritime Learning Center. The park is a historic district administered under a partnership between the NPS, the City of New Bedford and private building owners to preserve the historic landscapes, structures, and collections and promote research and educational programming associated with the history of whaling.
So most of these shots are I believe within the area of the park.

Next up we have the National Club Sign, apparently it used to be a popular bar for fisherman, I read online a few years ago it was bought by a restaurant group but the sign is still there

Those are nice signs. They remind me of cool signs in the bars in cowboy movies of the West of America. It seems to be those signs are popular in your country too.

Thanks and yes lots of old signs here ;)

Each sign it's own design to try to attract attention, well photographed and yes the weathering is appearing on some which add a little extra special touch.

!LUV

@joanstewart(3/10) gave you LUV. H-E tools | connect | <><

Very cool old signs! I really like the National Club one. This looks like it would be a really cool area to spend the day on a sunny Saturday! I might have to add it to my list of places to visit when we make it to the coast!

It is cool exploring the historic are downtown on a nice say

Excelentes fotografías. Interesantes carteles✨

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

It would be very cool if our ancient city also treated antiquity. But we lived in Soviet times. And it was all like in the song "International": "We will destroy the whole World of violence To the ground, and then We will build our own, we will build a new World".
"We" destroyed old houses, old habits, killed a lot of people, but we never built our own World, we remained living in a destroyed world. In the 90s of the last century, We decided to live with all the world in peace, but now "we" have started to destroy again.
"We" are the leaders of the USSR, the Russian Federation.

I get what your saying and its sad
Stay safe and well


Smithwick is a pretty cool sign, I really like how they age so gracefully. The Tavern was one of my favorites as well as the Whaling Park... That makes almost all of them. I have to say that I really enjoy seeing the town, the many different businesses and sinage is a big thing back East. I surely enjoy you showing them off.
