Also, Paint Fair seems to have replaced the charming big-top logo with much lamer one, as can be seen here:<br /><br />http://vimeo.com/9343733<br /><br />Now, there is still another Paint Fair in the Bronx, which retains a near-perfect storefront, in fact as a part of a near perfect block of storefronts. Makes me want to want to go up there just to eat some chinese take-out.<br /><br />https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wakefield+paint+fair+4386+White+Plains+Road+Bronx+New+York+10466+&sll=41.524123,-73.550096&sspn=1.420854,2.469177&ie=UTF8&hq=wakefield+paint+fair&hnear=4386+White+Plains+Rd,+Bronx,+NY+10466&z=16Mitchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-58478893804497154112013-07-11T16:34:44.284-07:002013-07-11T16:34:44.284-07:00There’s a sign on a paint store at 4386 White Plai...There’s a sign on a paint store at 4386 White Plains Road in the Bronx that has a logo similar to the one on the old sign here. I’m thinking it’s a chain, and maybe Klenosky severed ties with it, forcing a sign change.BabyDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751432569519540728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-33500791993215514512013-07-11T07:01:23.337-07:002013-07-11T07:01:23.337-07:00I wonder what "Paint Fair" was.
