Yesterday, I had a dental appointment (two actually – cleaning and some restoration work) in the People’s Republic of Santa Monica. Since I got in the area early, I had some time on my hands so I took a little tour around the downtown area. I ran across this interesting store front. Now I know where the guy with this Satanic paint job gets his tattoos.
Off topic I know but I noticed those two octagon-shaped light spots on either side of the sign and realized that they were end plates for steel rods that are placed in older structures in California to upgrade to newer earthquake codes. Somebody attempted to paint the bricks to match but it looks like it faded.
