A collection of old-school circus posters. Keep your hand on the volume as you enter, there’s also an old-school barker announcing all the goods. I like how the colors can be so clean and vibrant, despite what seems like a universal beige wash.

I love Wal-Mart. Both of my local Wal-Marts are pretty incredible in the “cleanliness” category–I wonder how this one slipped through the cracks? Actually, it’s not really that dirty, but the “sheer Ramen devastation” and emptied shelves in general is pretty striking. That’s a stocker’s nightmare. Empty shelves mean 1) you’re going to keep losing sales until you fill it again and 2) you’ve got a lot of filling to do. Makes me kind of wistful about the hundreds of nights I spent stocking shelves at the local Kroger.
Etsy, which is something like an eBay for hand-crafted goods, just opened a storefront/ lab. It will house the headquarters as well as some space for workshops, galleries, etc.
