Old-fashioned hair cuttery

My friend Sid (pictured) and I were walking around town last week, and we stumbled upon this place. It has definitely seen better years, and the block was surrounded by lots with stairways to grass plateaus.

So, I just stumbled across your website this evening and am hooked. I cannot stop reading. I have lived here all my life and wish I was half as adventurous as you. When looking at these pictures of the hair cutteries, I noticed what appeared to be the image of a man’s face in the top photo. It is very apparent to me in the window on the right, in the top left corner of the window and thens looks like a shadow on the window to the left. I was just wondering if you had noticed this too. Again, I find your site very intriguing. Thanks
