How does this letter-form communicate its location?

This building has fallen down from the inside but its façade is still standing. The big sign outside shows the life and death of the building this used to be. A sign like this could have been a theatre or maybe something that was enjoyed by its local residents in past years. I enjoy the bold long font. It reminds me of an old fashioned cinema. The loss of letters could convey a sadness that I feel surrounds my part of the city. The bold big lettering in its heyday would have brought customers in to the establishment it was.
