Not Fooling Anybody
I saw this site linked to from another blog and I immediately fell in love. This sort of completely worthless analysis of everyday objects is the type of thing I really enjoy. I always pass this check-cashing place on my way to the gym, and you can tell it used to be a KFC on the outside. I never took a picture, but always thought it was hilarious and literally thought to myself, "Do they think people won't notice they are getting their checks cashed from the colonel?".
Anyway, http://www.notfoolinganybody.com/ holds many examples of "bad conversions of storefronts past" including the picture included above, which is also on my way to the gym. Yes, Exaco. And they don't sell gas which really makes you wonder why they used the name. It looks like the site has gone stale, even if the front pages says something different. Still amusing though, and I'll be looking for more bad conversions wherever I go.
