for truth
This particular afternoon was not a pleasant day to be out making photos – it was windy and dusty and cold. But the brain wants what the brain wants, and that day my brain wanted to go out and photograph billboards. (I know: my brain is ridiculous.)
This was the specific one I had in mind – I’d recently noticed it and appreciated the conglomeration of messages.

all good
Well, I’m not convinced. That sign on the right does say “It’s all good.” but the conglomeration of stuff kind of leads me to conclude it may, in fact, not be all good…

I listened through the cemetery trees
Hello, and welcome to Random Music Reference Day. We here at One Day | One Image are the first ones to acknowledge that our brain works in a weird way and that random music lyrics will often attach themselves to certain images. Sometimes the lyrics-photo connection may make sense to, well, normal people. Other times, the link is obscure, at best. But the brain wants what the brain wants – I have no control over it.
And so, here we go, with listening through the cemetery trees, a line from “One Headlight” by the Wallflowers.

Counter Seating (breakfast)
Pro Tip: if you want breakfast at the Arcade Restaurant, get there just before they open so you’re in the first wave to get in. Otherwise, it’ll be a bit of a wait. I’m not saying it’s not worth the wait – because it is – I’m just mentioning in to help you manage your time. And, given the option, you know it’s always better to get counter seating because you get to watch all the stuff that’s going on. (Sadly, I did not have that option.)

Pattern, repeated
Sometimes when I see buildings with elements that I don’t quite understand, I’ll say, “I guess it looked better on paper.” And that’s what I said to myself when I first saw that decorative (?) thing on the front of the building. But then, I noticed the industrial architecture behind it and could see certain patterns repeated in both things. So maybe the architect designed the decorative thing as an homage to the industrial thing.
