NPR: Clearly Closed

Clearly Closed

I heart this: a blog of closed shops displaying open signs. Reminds me of Not Fooling Anybody, a beloved-by-me website of repurposed fast food joints.

Props Neatorama.

Maybe they keep the light on because they know they'll be opening up again soon. So BPP: please keep the light on.

Thanks for the link to Neatorama. I am sure going to miss BPP finding me bizarre and wonderful things to look at on the interweb. By the way, I really like the picture of the ancient Egyptian sculpture a few posts below ClearlyClosed.

I love Not Fooling Anybody. There's a great example here in Boston: the Penzeys Spices store in Arlington Heights clearly used to be a Long John Silver's.
