Located at 2104 East Washington St. in Indianapolis, the ghost sign for the California Nite Club contains a sun and palm trees as a kind of shorthand representation of the name. The building is fairly grand for the area and, while I know nothing about the club, this description recommended that you “bring your A-game.”

Do you think someone tried to cover it with cheap paint, only to have the cover fade?
That’s a good question. From street level it’s hard to tell if it is yellowing from age or if there was paint over it.
