This sign, hung on the counter of London Barbers in Kensington, might be one of the last (if not the only) remaining visible reminder of the old Lido café, just down the street on 10 St. N.W. in Calgary.
The Lido site is now a big hole in the ground, ready to welcome a new multi-storey residential building that will bear the same name.

What I thought at first was a quaint gag in this Oslo park turns out to be a permanent (and functional) art exhibition to celebrate 100 years of Norwegian independence.
Indeed, these are three original Parisian automated toilets renovated and reinstalled in Oslo in 2005, together bearing the slogan most associated with the French republic.

A lovely spot overlooking the City of Portland. This image was snapped back in the spring. Perhaps I’ll venture inside next time …
