Maroons of Pottsville (PG 123)








Like I mentioned last week this is one of the two best Mail Pouch buildings I've found so far. The other was Painted Gentleman No. 66 in Cleveland. This time I found this one in Pottsville, Pa. (home of Yuengling Beer) on the side of the Maroons Sports Bar and Grill at 556 North Centre Street. The Maroons as we all know were one of the old school pro football teams. (To read their story click up there on the Maroons B&G). Just look at the treasure trove of painted ads on the building. Obviously they tore down a building the had stood next door for a long time.
