Normally I like fluorescent neon lights but I think this one is kind of goofy given how awesome their mural is. Good sign or not? Mural after the jump. (more…)

The only thing missing is a mural on the wall to the left of the photo.

Holy awesome garden. Flowers, waterfall, and some super fresh beer can art. Check out a close up of the beer can art after the jump. (more…)

The reader writes: “On Saturday, we decided to traipse over to 14th Street to try the new restaurant, La Cabana. It’s next door to El Amigo, one of our favorites (just a block away from PanAm supermarket). Well? We really enjoyed it, and the owner whose name we didn’t catch, was very attentive. We asked him what to get, and first pointed to the soups, but we got other things. I tried the beef fajitas. Our friend visiting from San Francisco got a chicken dish, and my better half the Lomo Saltado (apologies for the misspellings). The folks at the table reported that the margaritas were great, even if there were no frozen ones available. The owner kicked in a free plate of fried yucca, which was the best we’ve had, and when they didn’t have our desired dessert, they kicked in a flan. It was all very good. Not dirt cheap, not too expensive. Ask about drink prices before laying down the cash though. I hope the standards stay high and they succeed in increasing the quality of all the neighborhood Latin restaurants. Who knows, I may even try the often empty Sisy’s just north of Randolph on 14th… they are advertising a very price-effective happy hour, after which one could easily trip across to the Derby.”

In the business we call this target hardening. Of course if you brick around your flower pots, the flowers are still vulnerable but it’s a good start…

I always like keeping my eyes peeled for how much I can get paid for my unwanted car because I believe it is a phenomenal barometer for the health of the economy. So I was delighted to see a new record price of $155. (Not a good sign for the economy.) It seems like just yesterday when the going rate was $125.
I thought this picture was particularly fresh because of the license plate leaned right up against the sign. Almost like the deal was so good someone took it on the spot.

French’s Cleaners on 14th Street near the Red Derby is looking good. New signs and upgrades on the inside. The best part was they took out this old press that I think would make a sweet lawn decoration. So does anyone use them? Close up of the press after the jump. (more…)

The third floor balcony is phenomenal.

I think I may have asked this a while ago but I can’t remember – is there any benefit of grilling on something like this versus your standard Char Broil grill? This one certainly looks cool. What other benefits does it have?

It reminds me of that movie that showed how nature would take over if humans were no longer living on the planet. Well, that’s depressing. Sorry about that.
