Sitting outside the `Lona Tapas restaurant on Acland St, St Kilda these signs attracted me.
The Lona also did the best ribs we have ever had.
Seen on Spadina Avenue, Toronto. (Anyone who uses the web will smile at this.) It's nice to see that there is still humor in the world.
With any luck, the store will be found by the time it opens for business.

We all know what's important in our out of town over night stays. From an old motel on Chain of Rocks Road, Route 66, Granite City, Illinois.
The first milk bath photo I ever saw was Annie Leibovitz's famous shot of Whoopi Goldberg, and I knew it was something I wanted to try myself one day. This is quite a departure from my usual dark and moody style, but I really wanted to shoot something light and bright to celebrate the return of spring -- with girl and flowers both blooming out of the pale whiteness of winter. We went through about a dozen of them because, as it turns out, flowers don't float very well...
Thanks to Laety for providing the daisies and bathtub, and makeup artist Natalie Dresher for her artistic skills!
How to make a milk bath for photo shoots
Strobists: Single flash shot through white umbrella, bounced off the ceiling to give an overall bright, soft light.
I love the Paris Metro signs, the metro is a great system and moves the masses of efficiently under the city.
The Tricorn Centre was a Brutalist shopping, nightclub and car park complex in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. It was designed by Owen Luder and Rodney Gordon and took its name from the site's shape which from the air resembled a Tricorne hat. Constructed in the mid-1960s, it was demolished in 2004. It was home to one of the first Virgin Megastores and housed the largest Laser Quest arena in Europe.
The centre was a well-known example of 1960s architecture, and in the 1980s it was voted the 3rd ugliest building in the UK. In 2001, BBC Radio 4 listeners voted it the most hated building in the UK, and Prince Charles described it as "a mildewed lump of elephant droppings", although it was much admired by others, who saw it as an irreplaceable example of Brutalist architecture. Demolition of the Tricorn began on 24 March 2004 and lasted approximately nine months.
