OK, so the title of this thread is so specific that probably no one will ever post in it again, but I don't care. I took this photo a long time ago, so long ago that the establishment in it that's "Coming Soon" is actually "Now Open". Anyway, next time # is in Berkeley we should all check this place out:

I drive by it every day on my way to work, and thought about this picture again today. Also I'm playing around with Flickr:

I saw a truck with H. Inc on the side of it, but I had no camera.

Also Bell Green sent me this lovely photo a while ago:

Those of you with access to the Bloody Tower in England (London?) can view a plaque that tells of the savagery committed by Sir James Tyrrell. I had a photo of it but lost it.

Yes, he was the one who actually killed the Princes in the Tower, at the request of Richard III. 'The bloody tower' is a nickname for The Tower of London, that came about as a result of Tyrell's work.

I believe there is a "Ponchos Mexican Cafe" near me they have a billboard around here too, I should see if I can get a photo.

Plus I have to admit, we have "Frontage Roads" around here and everytime I see one of those big green signs I think of Frontalittle Squad... and I don't know why...

There is a Woodward Street near me too.

The Tyrell Corporation is the reason I don't mind when people misspell my name. Kickass.

How about the Pavlovian innuendo? Does it make you hungry?

And I know it doesn't quite qualify, but hey...New Mexico's hip:

Nope, cheap-o digital camera trying to take a picture in low light in a moving car of a moving car on the lower deck of the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

Here's another one:

This establishment:

is located right behind the studio where the recent Songfight LA event was held.

Really wish I'd gotten a shot of it.

Road sign somewhere in MD points to a "Sparks" therein. Suppose I should snap a photo one day.
