Mr. James

A little shop wedged between its larger neighbors. Almost looks like I photoshopped it in, but that is really what it looks like.

Shops

Saturated color

I don't know of any other business that has such a saturated color scheme. Ikea stores seem to have turned up the color to 11, to the point it seems almost unnatural or even possible. Of course blue and yellow are the national colors of Sweden and Ikea likes to tie their nationality into their identity.

Colorful coffee shop

Green & white

Waiting patiently

The store was in the process of reconfiguration and had pushed fixtures and this mannequin into a corner... and it seemed the mannequin was just waiting for his new assignment.

Turned on

Hedonist Artisan Chocolates, a great shop in Rochester if you get turned on by chocolate.

Go electric?

There is a lot to like about going electric but range anxiety is still a real thing. Great design and good for the environment make it tempting.

Lyrical Ballad

Small town, small bookshop... a rare site these days.

Cato Hardware

Proof that small town shops that are far enough from big box stores can remain viable and relevant to their community.

Under the weather

First it was the wind storm, then several feet of snow, and now the flu. I am proof that a flu shot does not guarantee the bug doesn't get you. Consequently I have not been out with camera in a while, so here is a picture from a little over a week ago that was still in my "maybe" pile.
