Ghost Signs Zones and Assignments

On to the fun part of this class! I have broken Spokane into three zones with, I think, roughly equal numbers of ghost signs, or equal numbers of places to look anyway:

  1. Work in pairs or threes. Though Spokane is a safe city overall, I don't want you poling through the alleyways alone.
  2. Take your zoomiest camera and a clipboard full of the data sheets, which you may print off from this website. A printed map of Spokane will also be useful for approximating street addresses.
  3. Your friend Google Street view may come in handy for pinning down addresses and the like.
  4. The sooner you can do your first field trips the better.
  5. Look up, look down. Bonus points for anyone who finds a horse ring.
  6.  Enter your data into the database as you find it.
  7. Label photographs with the street address of the building.
