Signs are everywhere. As wayfinding aids, signs play a very active role in our daily lives. Sometimes attached to buildings, other times painted on, and still others they are free-standing. Though only viewed/interacted with for an instant at a time, signs are significant social elements in our lives, communicating to the passerby what the owner intends. Not only do signs display goods and services, but they can help show the unique personality of the respective business or proprietor. Historically, we can look at evolution of signs and call back to the histories of these interesting places. Architectural Historian, Jamee Fiore will lead you around downtown Boise to explore the historic signs, ghost signs, and new versions of historic signs.
