This is a sadly deteriorated sign for a group of duplexes on the east side of Athens, GA. The sign says "JADE EAST APTS." You can't really tell now, but the lettering used to have this faux-"oriental" appearance. Who knows when this place was erected--it's been there as far back as I can remember, and I can remember the lights mysteriously dimming on Jimmy Carter right after he mentioned JFK's assassination. Anyway, what I want to know is: was this place named after the character in Cheech and Chong's first movie? If so, that would mean it was built after 1978, and I don't think that can be right. Too bad about the sign, though.
