CPA Office Murals, Rock Springs Wyoming.
The office of a CPA in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Most of the themes on this side of the building have to do with the rights of women in society.
The other side of this building also has murals, but I have yet to photograph them.

Former Grocery Store, Rocks Springs, Wyoming.
Rock Springs Wyoming has a fairly extensive old downtown dating from the early 20th Century. Not all of the buildings are in good shape by any means, but they do provide an example of what an early 20th Century downtown was like. Very few newer buildings have been built in Rock Spring's old business district and therefore, in that sense, its well preserved.
One of the buildings located there is this former grocery store which features a fairly typical, and well preserved, painted wall advertising its wares.

Grant Street Grocery, Casper Wyoming
Grant Street Grocery in Casper Wyoming is the only surviving small neighborhood grocery store in the town and even advertises the same.
Opened in 1921, the store was converted into a specialty grocery store and deli some years ago, and features meats and cheeses, as well as many other items, that are unlikely to appear on the counters of regular grocery stores. It's featured here for its simple sign, as well as being a remnant of something that was once very common, a neighborhood store.
