A Ghostly Tale

This has been a hard couple of years for small businesses. I've started collecting what a friend of mind calls 'ghost signs' - signs belonging to businesses that no longer exist. This first ghost sign is from a lovely former used bookstore in Dinkytown. Inside the store there was a bird that greeted you, a cat that purred at your feet and a very friendly but laid-back dog. And they all seemed to get along just fine.

The Official Warming House of Grand Avenue

Normally I find official sponsorships a little bit silly - I mean, does the NFL really need an official cold medicine? Anyway, I think this sponsorship makes sense since Grand Avenue is a really awesome place to hang out and in this weather you do need a warming house. Try the guac there too.
