Relieves Fatigue (347/366)

TIME: 12:20 pm
PLACE: 1st block of North Charles St

SUBJECT: Ghost sign

*~*~*

I've been wanting to take a picture of this for some time, however, everytime I drove by, there would be a car parked in front of it.

There was no car today!

I'm not sure what relieves fatigue, is sold everywhere and is only 5 cents. I could sure use some though.

I did do some quick research in the local historical newspaper archives (courtesy of our library) and found this advertisement for some gum that "relieves fatigue" and was only 5 cents for 5 sticks back in 1916.

Maybe this is it.

 

Cherokee Street (129/365)

TIME: 12:15 to 2:37 PM
PLACE:  Cherokee Street, St. Louis, MO
SUBJECT: What we did

Claudia wanted to “do something” today. 
We briefly contemplated going to the Botanical Garden, but it began to rain fairly hard.
We decided to to to Antique Row on Cherokee Street.


One of the shops we visited was a used bookstore.


We stopped and had lunch at La Vallesana (The Taco Stand)


Our seats were outside, sheltered from the rain on the covered patio.
I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie burrito.


I thought this a very creative use of zip ties.
