From the gallery: GRAMMAR IS EVERYTHING

GRAMMAR IS EVERYTHING: I saw this sign posted on a fence in a nearby neighborhood and had to ‘borrow’ it, it is just too priceless – it now hangs in my kitchen. I think they meant ‘Curb Your Dog.’ 🙂
(I love how ‘dog’ is an afterthought.)

Photo of the day: THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER STORE

THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER STORE: Forget about your local Container Store! This is it! Cheapy Auto parts/chop shop has cleverly created a building from stacked shipping containers. About ten of them – five on top, five on the bottom. Need a little ventilation – open a door!
In their junk yard they have got it all – Acura alternators, Audi axles, Bentley bumpers, Cadillac clinometers, Dodge doors, Fiat fenders, Ford fans, Honda hubs, Hummer headlights, Mazda mountings, Peugeot pumps, Rolls Royce racks, Saturn spoilers, Suzuki speedometers,  Toyota tires and Volkswagen visors…if you don’t mind a little dust.
Cheapy Auto Parts – 12761 Willets Point, Flushing, NY 11368.
