The Proodian & Sons Rugs sign on Western Ave. (Rt 107) is an art deco masterpiece in amazing condition. Remove the modern automobiles from this shot and you might convince someone this was decades ago rather than just an hour ago.

Signs of Lynn – Christie’s
Facebook friends were asked to suggest this week’s sign, so Christie’s it is. It was mentioned by several people when the series launched, so today’s recommendation bumped it up in line.

We want to celebrate all that is uniquely Lynn and what gives it character. Posting photos of cool signage is just the beginning of that, and it is not meant to advertise…
