I like the rustic and aging feel of this sign, which shows how long the Pittsburgh tradition Primanti Bros. has been open. As I pointed out when analyzing Tice’s photograph Penn Fish Market, Camden, New Jersey, 1997, a sign can tell a great deal about a business and its surrounding neighborhood and people. This picture, again, is an attempt to capture more of Pittsburgh’s essence.

I think that the contrast between the brick and the sign could have been more pronounced, and the same between the wording on the sign and the background. This would have the effect of the words and sign popping out of the image.
