McShopping Center, Venus Flytrap U-Haul, Alabama Cop Plate and an Iranian Fiesta

- EvilGentleman - Monday, August 7th, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

Just a few odd shots I took lately.

This is a McDonald's on Notre-Dame, in the far eastern end of the city. It seems normal enough, being attached to a strip mall, but the McDonald's sign does not say restaurant, but instead has the French phrase for shopping center. None of the stores seem to be McDonald's themed, so I can only assume that the whole strip mall is owned by McDonald's.

I saw this truck parked in front of my building and I thought it was rather unusual to have a venus flytrap on a commercial moving vehicle.

While going back to my car in the parking lot at Carrefour Angrignon, a large mall in the Lasalle borough, I saw this car with an Alabama plate and a badge that says "Member, Fraternal Order of Police" partially obscuring the plate.

I heard noise one night on Sainte-Catherine street, and was quite surprised to realize that there was a Mexican band playing for a group of people in the Saffron Restaurant at the corner of Saint-Mathieu. What made this so unusual is that Saffron is an Iranian restaurant.

Matt: is that macdonalds picture taken in beaconsfeild?

EvilGentleman: 11th Aug 2006 - 03:18 GMT

Nope, it was taken in the East end near the corner of Liebert and Notre-Dame, just a few blocks past Honore-Beaugrand.

I saw the Venus Flytrap on the U-Haul truck in Wisconsin, too. Here's an article about their campaign:

I'm trying to find the text beneath the pic. Is your original photo good enough to make it out? I thought it was funny at the time, because it made U-Haul seem like it was a predatory company, but I ahdn't got much sleep before work.

EvilGentleman: 16th Oct 2008 - 20:44 GMT

I have to run, but I will try to look it up when I get back.

EvilGentleman: 17th Oct 2008 - 19:25 GMT

The text on the left side of the U-Haul truck reads:
#91
Venture Across America
North Carolina
Carnivores of the Green Swamp Preserve

Did you know...
The endangered Venus Fly Trap and Pitcher Plant feed on small insects for survival. How does this reversal of the food chain work?
