Stopped by THE HOME DEPOT to pick up a few things for the house and saw the light.
Or lack thereof.

I've always wanted to do a photographic series on businesses with missing bulbs in signage.

I'm also a fan of signage neglect.

When I was living in Guelph the local Sears had an out bulb on the crossbar of the "e" on it's sign turning it into "Scars"

Additionally the Primrose Hotel in the Village here in Toronto for the longest time had an unlit "P" which resulted in a much more appropriate name for the hotel given it's location.

Fun stuff.

My favorite was probably when the new theatre here in Utica opened a couple years ago... All the fanfare for the Grand Opening of MARQ E NEMA. I emailed a photo to their VP of Public Relations and it was fixed the next night.

I work here, and I used to take pics on my phone and send them to the operations manager so that she could get them fixed (she hardly ever worked nights so she did not see the issue). Apparently we have been waiting for corporate to schedule the changeover from flourescent bulbs to LED...which is happening this week. You would think that a multi-billion dollar company would be just a little more concerned about their image?? Anyway, thanks for letting me know that I was not the only one that was bothered by this.

My personal favorite is the "SELF STORAGE" in Warminster... around Christmas they seemed to have a problem with the first "S" and they become "ELF STORAGE." How perfect is that?
