I have been passing by this building on the way to my studio for quite sometime now and always wanted to take some pictures… but I was always on the bus so I couldn’t…
I happened to take a different route the other day and walked by this building — HOT BIRD signage! I love the yellow bricks, too. I don’t see any Bar-B-Q place anywhere near here (or am I simply missing something?) so I think this is an old signage that was left on the building…
Sounds good, though, doesn’t it?! :) Have a pleasant Wednesday, everyone!

this is so good in so many ways! glad you were able to finally take a photo!
I always loved that sign. Hot Bird was indeed located a few blocks away. It was painted Orange and white stripes with a matching Orange and white metal awning.
nice blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by!! oh wow, you have gone there?! I guess it’s not there any more, though, right?? Someone else mentioned that they looked for it, but they couldn’t find it… Anyway. Thank you!
