Me? No. This is downtown in the city in which I used to live. We still go there once in a while since it's not far from where we live now.
While that may have been the name of record for the business, Admiral also used to be a brand of televisions and major appliances, so I'm thinking that was very likely a manufacturer's sign indicating an authorized dealer for their product line.I took this picture as I was walking out of the old (just turned 120 years old) Sorg opera house downtown. I love old buildings, particularly old buildings that have a display of something long since out of business:
The Admiral TV & Appliances store.

Oh yes, I remember. My great aunt owned an Admiral floor model television, a 22" big screen.
I read the wiki link you posted, and discovered I own an Admiral TV and didn't know it! Granted, it's now AOC (Admiral Overseas Corporation), but still, it's like discovering your lump of coal may have a little diamond dust in it! I've always been a fan of the Admiral line, just as I love nostalgic ads made by those companies (I could spend all day looking through old Sears catalogs).

I do believe I know what you mean.
Freshly sheared today...

I used to have an Admiral TV. Bought it before Montgomery-Ward went out of business.
Been wielding my camera everywhere I go, and here are a few snaps...
Jubilee bridge over the Thames, Embankment:
I like the angle of this one.
Skaters, Southbank:
Nice action shot.
by the way, here's a bit of before and after on the front yard.
Here's the day we saw the house for the first time in October 2007
^ somehow I fell in love with this place. this entire front yard was hard packed stone and weeds and endless overgrowth.
Here's a picture from about the same spot taken the other day (forgive the angled buildings - its a side effect of seaming 2 pic together for the panorama)
I've recently defined and built the driveway (which has yet to be filled with stone) Also in the foreground is a new garden we're working on. from the opposite view...
that corner of the drive will have a step down and connect over to a deck (which I'm putting in the cleared area next to the fence) for a picnic table.

I hope my future brother-in-law will be as handy as you, SPOCKED.

Great pictures, J, and genuinely no insult intended but first thing made me think of was Walking Dead. Is it always that deserted?
^ We live in Plymouth (Cedarville) now, and that is actually a view of Island Pond
Thanks, and yes - we have a lake "view" on the opposite side of the house as you can see here in an earlier pic from when I was still working on the garden. Putting a picnic table in this spot seemed like a really nice idea.

Thanks, ZR. I kinda put this off for more than a year and finally got down to it a few weeks ago. Digging the packed stone drive was very difficult as was getting it all level on a sloped landscape. All the lower tiers were drilled and re-barred while the upper tiers got spiked into place. And those 8ft long 6x6's are not light. I can't wait to get started on the deck - it's going to be WAY easierI hope my future brother-in-law will be as handy as you, SPOCKED.
