The Japanese Manhole Art Museum. More art of streets and cities at Ruavista, from
Fifties Buenos Aires to
Belfast to reverse painted glass signs in Paris, 1900.
More at the Typographic Signage Project; Vancouver's Neon Heritage; Early American Tavern and Inn Signs; and the Emergence of Advertising in America.

I especially love the Fifties Buenos Aires link; it makes me nostalgic for the city I lived in, a decade later but not much changed. Thanks for another great post.
