Sign From Mars
This sign has marked the way from Illinois to Milwaukee for many years. It's so circa 1950's type design is what makes it. The store building has changed but the sign remains the same. A true cheddar curtain icon.

Vivian Maier
Sometimes photography surfaces from the most unique places. Vivian Maier was a nanny by profession but her secret passion was photography. Her photography has been hidden for years until it surfaced when someone bought the negatives and was gobsmacked by what he unearthed. The images are unbelievable street photography and her story is fascinating. You can find more about her and her photography at these websites: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/11/26/vivian-maier-self-portraits-book/ and also http://www.vivianmaier.com/
