The money machine: Austin
If you don’t have the $5.95 for a combo meal at this place, this ATM is just around the corner.
But more importantly, why do you suppose that bricked-in window was so low?
Oh, and for those of you keeping score at home, you can add to my list of terms I hate this one: ATM machine.

Well sure – it seems so obvious, now that you mention it!

I like the reflection too.
The opening (I would doubt ‘window’ would be quite the right word) probably let something in via shovel or chute. Coal would be my bet – is the building likely to have either been heated or had steam power in its early days? Or some other product that was being processed at this location – maybe bales of something, or barrels. There could have been a wooden ramp on either side of the opening.

Maybe steam power, but probably not coal. I guess a very short, bored mason is probably not the answer?

people were smaller then. maybe it was a pizza pass-thru bar in the 1880s. keebler elves?

Let’s do a mashup and assume that the Keebler elves, at one time, made pizza. In the 1880s. In Austin.
It makes perfect sense to me!

How about adding “PIN number” to your list of terms?

A local bank used to be called American Bank of Commerce, but now they refer to themselves as ABC Bank.
Maybe we need to start a new blog called the Blog of Redundancies Blog.

You are the first vote, which I am pretty sure puts you in charge of it. So, congratulations on that…

Darn. I have to learn to keep my mouth shut – would have thought I’d have learned as much working as a bureaucrat.

You must not be a very good bureaucrat. (That’s a compliment.)

I’ll take it that way.

Also, the BRB Blog will have to bank at the ABC Bank.

Seriously, that reflection in the window is so terrific it should be named. Something like “The Enigmatic Reflection”, or “Bob”, I’m not sure which.
LikeLike
I like Bob. But I might could be talked into calling it Simon.
