Getreidegasse, also known as Grain Lane, is a beautiful street in Salzburg, Austria which dates back to Roman times. These wrought iron guild signs hang above each shop, illustrating the business of the shop; an old tradition that was used in the days when most people were illiterate. This sign was once for a seamstress. When I visited the shop was being inhabited by the clothing store Zara.#2: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Sep 16, 2017
That's cool that the modern store just kept the sign. Thanks for the history and the interesting puzzle.#3: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Sep 16, 2017

I love puzzles like this. Nicely designed, Carol. Really fun solve, and cool story.#10: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Sep 22, 2017
Thanks for the link, Kristen.
Thanks Teresa! You know the funny thing is, I was going to put a link to a picture of the street but I kind of remembered that Kristen posted a link the first time I published this puzzle. So I figured I'd wait and see and yep, we have Kristen to thank for a photo of this beautiful street.#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 23, 2017
