These faded building signs are few and far between in Calgary. This one’s along 9 Ave. S.E. in Inglewood.

Friday funnies: “Lousie” spelling and other Calgary oddities
22 Friday May 2015
For your enjoyment today, a small collection of weirdness spotted around Calgary since this winter.
Seen at the now-closed Target store in Market Mall.
Another one from Market Mall.
This gooder’s from Sears.
Good try from Starbucks.
Outside Louise Riley Library in northwest Calgary.
P.S.: As you can see from the snow, the last image is several months old. The sign has since been corrected with the proper spelling of Louise.

Posted in Calgary, Calgary Expo
Here are some of my favourite photos from the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this weekend.
The photo above is No. 1 on my list: The costume/bag was cool itself … and then the kid wearing it unexpectedly decides he needs to rearrange his something hanging from his neck just as I’m shooting the image. The result is priceless. I walked up to the guy afterward, showed him the photo and he giggled for a good 15 seconds.
More Expo photos here!

Here’s something neat I spotted at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this weekend: Some light sabre rattling and juggling in a corner of the Big 4 Building. Photos from Expo coming soon!
Beware the apple-anche!
10 Friday Apr 2015
This pun-loving vendor at Pike Place Market in Seattle was very grateful (and oddly relieved) when she realized I understood the joke on this sign. Too often, she lamented, visitors would miss the word play and wonder what kind of Spanish-sounding variety an “apple-anche” was.
