Here is a picture I took of an old Wrigley's ghost sign on the side of a The Goddard Grocer building in Hannibal, MO back in the Spring of 2006. I was standing on the levee when I took this. A few days ago, I was watching the news and they showed this place with water lapping at the sign! If you look at the door to the left, you can see the water had to be about eight feet deep at this point. 07-08
