Building Art

On my ride home from work heading to the bike shop I pass two buildings with cycling art. These buildings are about 40 feet from each other and now have nothing to do with cycling, one is a barber shop and the other is a woman's clothing store. I always wonder what they used to be, I assume that once upon a time they were both bike shops.
The barber shop. Specialized and Bianchi are listed.

The woman's boutique. My favorite of the two.

The second picture, not the barber shop, used to be a bike shop. If I remember correctly it was owned by the same guy who owns the barber shop, and again if I remember correctly he owns all four corners of that intersection. He used to be friends with Joe Martin, big supporter of the race back in the day. The mural on the side used to be the logo printed on the race tshirts.
