Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This warning about intoxicating odours is truth in advertising for this food truck, spotted at the Calgary Folk Music Festival this weekend.

Phoenix Public Market

This neat sign with vintage-looking typography marks the location of the Phoenix Public Market and adjacent café in downtown Phoenix. The exterior space is a parking lot most of the time but turns into a market on Saturday mornings.

Sandwich artists

A well-known international chain of submarine sandwich shops calls its employees sandwich artists. But at this Tempe, Arizona, submarine shop, it’s the clients who are truly sandwich artists.

Beware the apple-anche!

Beware the cascade of apples

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.

Cuba, si!

This colourful mural in Portland, Oregon, fills the wall of a building that’s also home to a Cuban restaurant. The place serves one of my favourite mocha espressos, anywhere. The drink looks almost too pretty to consume.

Almost too pretty to drink

Corny Big

Because the names of foreign snack foods can be amusing. Saw this in a vending machine at the Osnabrück train station in Germany, while I was on my way to Hamburg this past summer. (Unfortunately, I did not try this.)
