However, given the Mercury's recent paint job, the Shastone Monuments ad was likely a goner... Indeed, it has been wiped away...
The Mercury Lounge opened in 1993. Prior to that, Shastone Monuments -- part of Houston's once-thriving gravestone industry -- called this space home for nearly 60 years. You can read more about Shastone here at Mr. Beller's Neighborhood.

That's too bad. I got a shot of the ad just three weeks ago.
Dammit! What, was it just blasted away, not painted over? Why the effort?
I currently am the owner of shastone. It would be great if you could email me any photos you took of the sign while it was still there. you can email me at shastone@optonline.net. thanks!
