The square on the top-left is "border sign" of the road and house/building, I think.
The G sign (yellow one) is for "gas pipe here".
And this "StepAce" thing is the same as that "STEPPOWER" thing. (Another view here.)

An old sign board of a real-property office. "Apart" is a shortened form of "apartment".
Other two sides of this sign:

On the left, there are some pieces of paper stuck on a nicely designed sign. And on the paper ten letters/characters are written (and the one in the middle, to which I didn't pay attention when I took this pic).
What is strange is the way the ten letters/characters are shown:
Usually we would writte:
タイムサービス
実施中
or
タイム
サービス
実施中
But here, they put it this way:
タイ ムサ
ービ ス実 施中
Ooh! The space! The limit!
And タイムサービス is literaly "time service", and it is one famous Japanglish, which means "happy hour" or something.
NOTE
Today I've added quite a lot of pics from May, more than 50, and I'm afraid you can't see all of them on the top page.
Please check out my May 2005 archive to see all the pics. Cheers.
