From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Jim Kirchherr finds out the truth behind "Ghost signs," faded advertisements painted on brick walls of rehabbed loft spaces and vacant buildings around St. Louis. Theses signs offer a glimpse into a busier, simpler age when blacksmiths were prominent and specialty shops lined the streets of the Wellington Loop.
