It took me almost 8 years to figure out what that company name is in the picture above – it’s near my house at the Graham stop. My brain could not wrap around a company name using on the letters “m ee unsh” But its a real company still in business and one of the oldest of its type in the country.
haha! I was waiting to see if someone else might guess it 🙂 But ok, its Embee Sunshades. They have a website and are one of the oldest manufactures of the patio table style umbrellas you can buy for home use or see at public pools, sidewalk cafes, etc. And they still make them right there in that old building which also houses some artist lofts.
