There is a large fish shaped sign hanging over the door of the shop with the word "Market" on it and the word "Poultry" underneath it. The sign is surrounded by what appear to be neon tubes. There are numerous types of fish advertised on the windows and on the right side of the building. There is also a large fish painted on the side of the building. Next door can be seen the A. G. Hiles Lunch restaurant. It also has a neon sign over its door. Just above the front windows of Hiles Lunch are the phrases: "Tasty food, wonderful coffee" and on the other side, "Fast service, moderate prices." The building next to Hiles is vacant with a "For Rent" sign in the window. |
