Ortega's Shoes in Douglas, AZ still features its old
marquee advertising its shoes. This is the type of stores and signs that
used to be quite prevalent back in the day when folks would go to the
central district for shopping needs.

The Tourist Home is an interesting looking lodging joint, in the
Flagstaff area. It appears that the neon on the marquee for the Tourist
Home has disappeared into the night.

Check out the Cowboy Museum in Tombstone, AZ. This place
has more than a passing resemblance to the Big Texan Steak House in Texas.

I spoke with the owner and operator of the Wall Art Gallery and he told me that Beall's Plumbing still owns the
building and still operates the plumbing business out of the back part
of the building.
According to the gallery owner, he likes the historical plumbing sign
and plans to leave it up. The only change he said he would like to make
to the sign if the city and Beall's will allow, is to change the word
"plumbing" to art gallery or something to reflect the new business
in the front half of the building.
