I have no idea what this sign is supposed to mean. I mean, I get that it’s a restaurant, but why gold-an and not gold-en? And why the “an” in smaller red letters???

To me it reads like gold ‘n’ fork, which is a rather odd combo and not altogether tasty.

I don’t know if any of you are sick of sign photos yet, but I’m not too concerned because I think I lost most of my audience while hibernating. Which is to be expected, and takes the pressure off a bit. Frankly, I’m just glad to be taking pictures again.

Also: I’d like permission to punch the next person who asks me when I’ll be finished with my medical treatment or stop being sun-sensitive. Nobody knows, but that doesn’t stop EVERYone from asking.

Even worse than asking is when it’s stated, like “I thought you were supposed to be ‘done’ by now…” Yeeeeargh. Not helping, people.

    That sign has always intrigued me. Should you ever solve the mystery, do share.

    I’m glad you are posting again. I never consciously thought about sign font until I watched a documentary about Margaret Kilgallen and Barry McGee. Now I pay attention but I don’t photograph the way you do.

    Maybe the “an” is for indiAN, malaysiAN and syangaporeAN food, he.
