Aha. Now that I look it up, this makes a lot more sense. Bodegonnogue looks like an Irish word, which is why I thought there was something "up" here. But, apparently, Bodegon is a Spanish word for pantry, or kitchen, and Noge of course is the Japanese placename for this neighborhood.
So, it's all Spanish. There's no Spanish/Irish confusion here after all.
After being delayed in the little river valley town of Ryegate, Robert and I finally headed north, up up over the mesa and on to the beautiful flat table lands that overlook the Big Snowy Mountains. It was an amazing view! Everything was so open and free. We sped towards Franklin Montana. Franklin isn't really a town. Oh it was at one time but now it's a small cluster of run down buildings. Isn't the leaded glass in this classic false front beautiful? I would love to explore this place!
Franklin was once a a station on the Great Northern line between Great Falls and Billings, Franklin had a post office that was active 1910-1953. -Postmarks from Montana on flickr.com
I just passed by this while walking around and was amazed by the awesome interiors. I was not surprised to later find that "Furniture was designed and will be installed by students at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design." For more check out the Chinatown Blog or the storefront library's own website.
Salem had been on our must see list for ages. We finally made it there, on a very cold, very wet, miserable Monday morning. It was the only rain on our trip. We had some things we wanted to see, and they were closed on this day. We felt cursed but made the most of it. We wanted to see some of the historical areas but except for a memorial in the local cemetery there wasn't much. Anything related to the witch trials is long gone. What Salem did have was a bunch of tacky souvenir, occult, mysticism, and horror shops - it was fascinating in a bizarre way. There was also a large display of mastheads - the wooden figures of lovely women on the front of sailing ships - all over town. My wife checked out several shops, I stood outside people watching - it was amazing how many people were dressed as witches or in period costumes - even in the rain.
I took these photos in late September 2023.

People often ask us how we decide which storefronts we want to photograph as there are so many in New York City and we always laugh and say they have to be “film worthy” as we started our project documenting the many small independently owned shops, bars and restaurants of New York City in the late 1990s using our trusty old Canon 35mm camera. Even though we primarily used fairly inexpensive Kodak color film ️ purchased in bulk from either Adorama or B&H Photo (and still do today) there was also the additional expense of having it developed. One of the most important criteria for us in judging whether a store was “film worthy” was if it had unique or interesting signage and window displays. Big Tuna Bike Shop on Avenue C in the East Village definitely caught our eye with the big taxidermy tuna on its bright yellow sign and its windows plastered with photos of various people riding bicycles 🚲 a sort of bicycle porn. To us, it was a strange take on curb appeal. Let us know if there is a unique storefront in your neighborhood which you would consider “film worthy”!
