This is one of those old fire alarm pull boxes that has been converted into a sculpture. I’ve seen many of these alarm boxes converted into paintings but this is the first sculpture I’ve seen. This one is located in Mt. Pleasant and apparently is showing some troops being taken to the old Mt. Pleasant Hospital. Really an amazing conversion, no? Check out another picture after the jump.

On Mt. Pleasant St. Heller’s Bakery always seems to be crowded. So what’s the word? Is it the breakfast, the pies, rolls, cakes or homemade ice cream? Check out the storefront after the jump…I’m intrigued by the ham, egg and cheese biscuit… (more…)
I know we weren’t talking about pizza but it is seldom far from my mind. So I’ve never been to Radius in Mt. Pleasant [Ed. note: Can you tell I walked around Mt. Pleasant recently?] but I was taken by the sign “A slice of New York Pizza”. So what’s the word, pizza aficionados? Rate the pizza compared to Red Rocks, Maroni and Bros. and Vace’s.
Lest you think I’ve forgotten about murals…
I took an excursion to Mt. Pleasant this weekend and came upon this apartment building at Park Road and Mt. Pleasant Street. Pretty cool that all the residents agreed to this. How many languages do you recognize?
I have previously illustrated how there seems to be a disturbing number of flimsy signs popping up at new stores all over town. So, I’ve decided to start a war against those who use these signs. By highlighting outstanding signs, I hope to shame those who throw up weak banners. Outstanding sign number one is this beautiful Shoe Repair sign from Mt. Pleasant Street.
What a fantastic view of the National Cathedral from Mt. Pleasant.
