If you haven't heard about blinker fluid, look it up on YouTube. Another clever sign from a local ophthalmology business.
Baker's Donuts is a local favorite in South Sac and still thrives even after a Krispy Kreme recently opened just across the street.

Nestled in the heart of Tokyo's bustling Tsukiji district, this vendor shop offers a glimpse into the city’s rich culinary and artisan traditions. Known for its vibrant marketplace atmosphere, Tsukiji is a haven for foodies and collectors alike. This cozy shop specializes in Japanese ceramics, showcasing beautifully crafted bowls, plates, and tea sets that reflect centuries of artisanal expertise. The arrangement of goods feels organic yet practical, inviting visitors to explore the fine details of each item.
The shop's warm wooden interiors and soft lantern lighting create a welcoming atmosphere, blending traditional Japanese design with the unpolished charm of an active market. Bold Japanese calligraphy banners hang above the entrance, their black ink strokes exuding an authentic Edo-period aesthetic. The shelves are stacked high with neatly organized boxes, hinting at the vast inventory available. The vibrant green floor matting adds an unexpected splash of color, directing the eye and providing a clean, fresh contrast to the natural tones of the pottery.
Architecturally, this stall mirrors the tightly packed vibrancy of the Tsukiji outer market. Its compact yet efficient layout reflects the market’s historical roots as a bustling center of commerce. Many of these shops are family-run, some operating for generations, adding a layer of heritage to each purchase. Whether you're hunting for a perfect souvenir or simply admiring the artistry, this corner of Tsukiji feels alive with the pulse of Tokyo’s timeless charm.
At today's flickr mini-meet at Flying Star, while eating - but after paying - our small group was confronted by restaurant staff and told to put our cameras away or leave. Flying Star has apparently become a NO CAMERA establishment.
We were just enjoying ourselves, quietly talking about cameras and life. We weren't causing problems or shoving our cameras in other patrons faces. A visibly angry person confronted our group in a loud voice and, I think, tried to embarrass us. We were basically told that they don't serve our kind.
This is a huge bummer to me, but I'll abide by their wishes. I won't visit another Flying Star or Satellite coffee. Ever. In fact, I'll go out of my way to spread the word of their intolerant anti-photo policy and insist that my friends eat and drink elsewhere.
so, to sum up. Got a camera? FLYING STAR DOES NOT WANT YOUR MONEY.
A great coffee shop in Eastown that's open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The place is pretty dirty, the coffee isn't great, it's so smokey my eyes water, but the people are cool there and it makes for a good hangout.

April 2016 CreativeMornings/Raleigh event (global theme: Risk) with guest speaker Pam Blondin.
Pam Blondin opened Deco Raleigh after almost 30 years as a non-profit executive. During that time, she acted as mentor and consultant in a variety of areas: strategic and fiscal planning, board and volunteer management, community organizing, event planning, program assessment and research methodology. By 2012, she was living and working in Downtown Raleigh but found herself frustrated with the lack of vibrancy in the core of the state’s capital city. So she applied her arsenal of skills to a new challenge: contributing to a creative and vibrant downtown and helping to spark a retail-friendly environment in the area where she had worked and lived for two decades.
Deco Raleigh started with a mission focused on creating connections and supporting the community. The store features almost 200 unique brands and, since 2012, has sold goods produced by more than 100 local makers and artisans.
Since 2012, Deco has donated more than $40,000 in cash and goods to local charities and arts organizations. Blondin is co-founder and sponsor of raleigh [ ] space, Raleigh’s first parklet; this project engaged NCSU students, local businesses and hundreds of Raleigh citizens and was later awarded a 2015 Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Innovation.
She is also co-founder of the Flight Fund (fiscally sponsored by the Visual Art Exchange) that supports public art projects in Raleigh, several of which will be on display by summer 2016. She co-owned the Flight Pop-Up shop on Martin Street during the 2015 holiday season and donated 10% of sales to the Flight Fund. Blondin has become a vocal advocate for public displays of creativity and innovation in downtown Raleigh and enjoys mentoring artisans and entrepreneurs.
Deco been named Best Gift Store by both The Indy and Triangle Downtowner and has been highlighted in Conde’ Nast Traveler and Delta’s Sky Magazine. Yelp and Mashable.com named Deco one of the 25 best independent gift stores in the United States, and Deco received the very first “Rising Star” award from the Downtown Raleigh Alliance. Blondin shares her non-profit expertise as a board member for several local organizations, and she is active in supporting economic development activities focusing on downtown retail.
Special thanks to our host CAM Raleigh and sponsors CompostNow, Remedy, for video production, Counter Culture Coffee, who generously provided us with complimentary coffee, and Rise, who provided the tasty breakfast snacks.
Silsby's Double Dips is an ice cream stand on Main Street (State Road 63) in the small town of Medina, New York. I made this photograph the day after they closed for the season.

Polaroid photograph of Voors Jewelry and Lev's Pawn Shop. The two storefronts occupy the same building on the south side of Lower Huntington Road, between Old Trail Road and Bluffton Road, in the Waynedale area of Fort Wayne, Indiana. A billboard behind the building says "Recovery Helps People Heal."
Voors is a locally-owned store that has been in business in this location since 1949. The owner, Jeff Voors, is the son of the store's original owner. Lev's is a chain of pawn shops based in Ohio. They have a couple of other locations in Fort Wayne.
I made this in the evening shortly before sunset when the light was very warm in color.
Waynedale was once a small town, and Lower Huntington Road was the town's "Main Street." In 1957, Waynedale was annexed by the City of Fort Wayne. Though Waynedale has been part of the city longer than it was an independent town, it still looks like a small town and the area still has a small town culture.

This past week, local artist, and proprietor of Kansas City's West Bottoms hobby shop Doc's Caboose, Doc Snyder passed away at the age of 62.
A few days after the news came out, I stopped by to pay my respects to the shop that I've spent countless hours in over the years. Ever since I moved to the region after college, it's been my go-to shop in the region for supplies, and comradery. For those of you who have just come to know the West Bottoms recently, it wasn't nearly as gentrified 20 years ago. Doc was a trendsetter here in the urbanization of his business and studio when it came to KC, and I was more than happy to support his efforts.
This isn't to say that the shop is closing, but it certainly won't be the same without its namesake around anymore. You can visit their website here: docscaboose.biz/
As it was, I found it to be quite fitting that while I was on site, the NS 7630 rolled west by me on UP's KC Metro Sub towards 18th St. Yard. As you can tell, the shop has quite the view of the Main.
High Greens, Doc!
Marysville WA USA 8-31-2023: Opera House was originally built by the Independent Order of Oddfellows, it was placed on the National Register of Historic places in 1982
In keeping with the Christmas season...
Every year one of the local businesses erects this star above its building, proclaiming the Christmas message so simply and beautifully. I especially like the Cross in the center, reminding the viewer that Christ's birth led to His life and then His death and resurrection, bringing hope and salvation for all humanity!
I snapped this same star last year, but as I drove to work this morning, I noticed the moon right next to it! Of course my car automatically pulled over to the side of the road, allowing me to get out and capture the scene :)
Taken at dawn...
The Royal Fish Bar and Baan Thai Foods were closed, but the Worlds End Barber and Shop at No 9 seemed busy, "Open Late" the sign read. The small row of shops, situated just a hundred meters from the local Railway station, would, I imagined, come to life in the evenings, as the Commuters returned home. Perhaps not quite the anima of Soho though.
World's End is a northern district of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England. It is thought that the name arrived with the railway â it was here that the 'up' line met the 'down' line during construction of the Brighton main line (1837 to 1841), though it may also reflect the workers' sense of remoteness while billeted in a local farm (in what is now the Noel Rise area).

Southern Newington’s prime pizza place, Elm Hill Pizza, is a family owned and operated pizza place since 1975. Serving people throughout Newington and the surrounding areas, the place is very welcoming and the decoration appeals people to sit and enjoy their meal. However, many regular customers—mostly addressed to by first name—will make their orders to go by phone, and when going to get it, they will simply stand and talk to the workers about life and memories. The friendly demeanor of the workers/owners, their high-quality service and the amazing food just put the icing on the cake.
La principal pizzería del sur de Newington, Elm Hill Pizza, es una pizzería familiar que opera desde 1975. Brindando servicios por todo Newington y áreas aledañas, el lugar es muy acogedor y la decoración invita a las personas que sentarse y disfrutar de su comida. Sin embargo, muchos clientes habituales—a quienes se les llama mayormente por su nombre de pila—realizarán su pedido para llevar por teléfono, y cuando van a buscarlo, sencillamente se paran y conversan con los trabajadores sobre la vida y recuerdos. El carácter amistoso de los trabajadores/dueños, su servicio de alta calidad y la increíble comida solo ponen la guinda en el pastel.
