This corner store on Prescott and Bond has seen better days. Today, it’s boarded up and for sale so if anybody knows any stories about it, feel free to share in the comments.
I do want to share with you an NPR story about an English village that refused to let go of their corner store. Enjoy.
Croatian word of the day: selo village
A bunch of links today and a corner store.
A strange collection of murderous cooks, waiters and bartenders.
Two websites that allow you to create “to do” lists. Teux Deux is actually quite useful for my purposes (h/t swissmiss) and NowDoThis is not so useful, but certainly more fun (h/t Minimalissimo).
Dalton Ghetti creates the most amazing sculptures from pencil stubs you’ll ever see.
And one of my favourite website, Quipsologies, went through a massive redesign.
Croatian word of the day: kuhar cook
I have this long post I have been trying to write, but am too exhausted to finish. Little Miss F is killing us by means of sleep deprivation. The only thing I don’t understand is why the hell is she so full of energy.
Photo links:
Alex Webb has photographed a fascinating story for National Geographic on a railway connecting Caspian and Black seas. The story is just as fascinating as the photographs. NPR has a preview of the story and National Geographic has an extended on-line gallery.
Alain Keler from the French agency Myop has a sad and haunting set of photographs of Roma people currently persecuted quite mercilessly in France. Even some of the members of the right wing UMP are appalled by the deportations. BBC story is here.
Check out NYT’s Lens blog and the work of George Georgiou on modern Turkey.
The photograph is of Long’s Hill Convenience in my new neighbourhood.
