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.

Know your priorities

Good to know what’s where! This simple, elegant piece of marketing is between Peasant Cheese and Kensington Wine Market in Calgary. (Also: it’s very fortuitous for the cheese shop to have opened next to a wine shop.)
