Her Majesty's Secret Beekeeper Signage Vandalized

Vandals strike again, this time befouling Her Majesty’s Secret Beekeeper‘s beautiful hand-painted sign. I guess that’ll teach local business owners to leave so much tempting white space up there for anyone to see. Link.

Poor American Apparel.

Bread By Josh at Pal's Take Away

08-29-09_1454

I mean, I’ve never had even a hint of a problem with any of the breads at Pal’s Take Away, but this new stuff by a guy called Josh is a cut above the rest. Look how delish it looks! Fluffy, bready, holds its own against the wealth of other amazing ingredients in every sandwich. Ask for it by name!

Also note the Pal’s website’s handsome new design.
