Conveniently located on Washington Street in the south end of Boston, Hite Radio and TV repair has been in business for over 70 years! They’re widely known around these parts for amazing service and the ability to repair just about any electronic device you could get your hands on.

Though I’ve never brought in any gadgets for repair, I have been admiring their vintage store front signage for about 3 years and 6 months and 5 or 6 days (Sametz happens to be 2 blocks from this lovely chunck of eye candy).

The combination of large sans serif in-lit type, painted black iconic logos, some great art-deco letterforms and sun-bleached yellowing panels atop a flat black platform is hard to ignore. The brick building beside it couldn’t be a more perfect complement.

Just goes to show — you’ll see great design everywhere, if you keep your eyes open to the possibilities (even on the way to work!)

What “stuff worth looking at” is lurking in your everyday life?
