Forgive

.
Yes, still in the same part of town. The old sign underneath, St, Louis Refrigeration and Cold Storage, is beautifully designed and works well with the old German castle-style industrial architecture that is common around here. There's not enough of the new sign slapped on top to decipher: ... iants... ing Co. Maybe it helped to preserve the original underneath. How to interpret the graffiti on top? Very broadly, I should think.

HOW FAR I HAD TO DRIVE YESTERDAY: 290 miles / 467 km round trip for one lousy hearing. At least I had time in the car to make progress on my French instruction CDs.

  1. I think this will be one of my favourites. Love the brick and the words against the sky. How did the lousy hearing go? I hate spending hours in public transport for a 30 minutes hearing!

  3. Nice. I like the various typographies here. Especially how the painted one is done in a sort of 2-D relief - whatever that would be called. Cool sky background too.

    Now, can you correctly pronounce the letter E to spell your name over the phone for reservations yet? Remember, it sounds like "good".

  5. I actually believe this is one of ed boxx's grander pieces.

    Too bad he had to get all stabbed-up.

    Great picture, I love the depth of the blues in the sky.
