25 May 2013, Day 354



This ghost sign should qualify as a political/historical artifact. It reads: "HOWLETT Governor vote Democratic." It's been on this wall on Morse Ave. between Glenwood and Greenview since the 1976 Illinois gubernatorial election. Michael Howlett served three terms as state auditor and one as secretary of state, but lost this race to Republican James Thompson.
