Finding
businesses in Apalachicola is now a little easier.
The
Historic Apalachicola Main Street Program installed a directional
sign in the Bowery district on Monday, on the corner of Commerce
Street and Avenue F.
This
is the first of several directional signs slated for installation in
downtown Apalachicola.
Each
sign will have unique ironwork that pays tribute to the maritime past
and present of Apalachicola.
The
goal of Historic Apalachicola Main Street is to install a few more of
these signs in the downtown district to help visitors find
restaurants, shops, and other points of interest.
The
unique sign was created by Fred Eubanks Custom Ornamental Ironwork of
Thomasville, Georgia.
The
sign has a distinctly nautical feel with accents such as nautical
rope and boats created from iron.
The
sign includes a shrimp boat silhouette that was created using a
photo of the Buddy’s Boys shrimp boat.
There
is also a sailing ship that was created using a painting of the
Montezuma, which shipped cotton from the port of Apalachicola.
The
weatherproof vinyl lettering was done by Sign Design in Eastpoint,
and can be easily updated as businesses change.
