"Thanksgiving Day" is written on the back of this photograph. Something tells me that it was a special one...

Two years and a fortnight ago this Saturday, I was standing on the sidewalk of South Lake Centre, taking this photo of the power strip’s Gap FactoryStore exterior. I like this angle because it gives you a pretty good look at that neat little square Gap logo poking out of the column there. (This is as close to a close-up of it that I’ll be posting to flickr, for better or for worse.)

 

I’ve taken a similar shot to this one more recently, of course, but chose to upload this one in particular because of its age; in the background, for instance, you can see former corner tenant Hancock Fabrics (the chain which, coincidentally, was also the subject of last week's teaser photo!).

 

Speaking of teasers, this photo, as I’m sure you’re aware, serves as our teaser for the aforementioned upcoming Saturday, when I’ll upload ten more photos documenting this store’s late 2017 liquidation. (As a matter of fact, those will be my final 2017 pics from the store; the final two sets will come from its final month in January 2018.)

 

So stick around for those… and until then, fuel your push toward the weekend by jamming on!

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)

In the kitchen... conducting a taste test.

This is another interesting picture that I pulled from my family photo albums; the 1998 Saturn S-Series wagon in St. Augustine, Florida. The date of this photograph is sometime in May or June of 1999 - a couple years prior to my birth! In case you wanted to know, our family no longer has this car, as we replaced it with a Scion xB in 2007.

--------------------------------------------

This is a re-upload, as I realized that the original required some editing. Also, I felt that it would be very appropriate to put it on Wagon Wednesday!
