One more in the series of signs... This is Honest Ed's previously featured here from the rear. And that, I believe is a fitting bookend to the series.

@MnX: Thanks so much, Cyrille! Glad you liked them. I may revisit this idea again later as there are still a lot more signs to capture before their time is up.

@wanganeges: It's even more fun from inside the store: First he had the building on the left (since the 1950s), then bought and expanded into the one on the right (early 1980s). But the only way to get from one to the other is either the basement, or the walkway on the third floor. Honest Ed himself, bless his soul, is in his early 90s.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too. This is a great shot!.

@badala: Thank you and likewise! Obrigado, Badala!
Yeah...nice way to end the series, Damon. Nice composition and balance. (And a nice take on the evolution of man on the right!)

@Shadow Mountains: Hee Hee, evolution of man... Thanks, Shadow!
I think I like Ed's office door more than his alley. Nice shot.

An interesting game between the colors of the store end the clothes of people. A dynamic street shot!

@Makoto T: Thanks, Makoto! I've said it before: I'm a sucker for symmetry!
I think the three people on the right are interesting it looks like they are walking in a line. Neat symetry
