As I first noted back on Sept. 16, renovations for a Two Boots on Nassau Street in the Financial District turned up ghost signage for onetime tenant Loft's Candies...
It was unknown if Two Boots would keep the neon or have it removed...
Now East Village-based photographers James and Karla Murray report via Instagram that 2 Boots will be restoring the sign.
Per James and Karla: "Instead of just removing the signage, the good news is that Two Boots will be restoring the sign ... We love when we hear that a new tenant appreciates the history of a store and its signage. In this case, the Loft's sign features the candy store's mid century logotype."
The work on the sign started earlier this week...

Two Boots, which got its start on Avenue A (different location than its current home) in 1987, now has 17 locations in six states.
