The crumbling storefront remnants of a long abandoned Revco drug store on Oliver Ave. Black and white was, of course, the only choice here. Dropping the red channel really brought out the cracks in the building and showed where the letters in the sign used to be.

Great image of urban decay. Yes, b&w is very fitting for this.

oh wow - I never would have thought a single Revco sign existed anymore. Nice find and perfect for B&W

Man I miss Revco. I love the tilt...it adds to the disconcerting nature of the decay in the image.
