little menu

you'd think if this cafe was going to be called "The Best Little Menu" that they would post the menu outside. but they didn't and it was closed, so I can't confirm if it really was the best. or little.

At first I thought it would be grand if modern 'washers' were done in six minutes! 

Then I thought, maybe this means each item in six minutes??

all visitors

Found in an old school being used as a polling station

It was a bit blurry ... and one cannot really take pictures at a polling station,

so I used Pencil Sketch to highlight the FONT.

Or not.

without any cost

now that I look at this sign more closely, last week's sign was probably the 1934 road map.

an old highway map from the 1930's (I think)

Sometimes you need to take a photo of a sign before it disappears. (though in this case, the abandonned Regal Constellation Hotel in Toronto may sit decaying a long while.)

grab yourself one

The weather is getting warmer up here in the northern half of the planet, time to think of patios ... 

and cold ones.

In Ontario, The Beer Store used to be called Brewers Retail, but it was thought too many tourists may not know what that meant, so it was dumbed down to a simpler name, 

one that most people probably called it anyway.

Eaton's - inhouse or outhouse

EATON'S, a Canadian Classic

Our numbers are increasing, too! Don't forget to come back and visit the later contributers posts - you never know what you might be missing.

full serve

Here's something not seen every day...

(and the price has gone up considerably since I took this shot!)

We also have a full service meme, so kick back and see what's under the hood of everyone else's signs.

warm and woolly

A wool shop in the Beaches, in Toronto.
Wrap yourself up in something warm and wooly (unless you are in the southern hemisphere) and settle down to see  some more interesting and fun signs from around the world.

post a sign

The beauty of this meme is that you can simply post your sign on your website, instead of in a mailbox.

signs are hot

Spice up your life and enjoy the signs from around the world

Linky Tools subscriptions have expired so there has been a move to Mister Linky.
But, before they took away all the links, I noticed we have been growing in numbers each week.
I am so happy to have you all here.
