the power of branding

when i started college i was going to be a business major.....but they frown on using "i" without a uppercase (yes i know i do not capitalize also it's not a self esteem issue...) i am a big believer in branding and marketing.....i like one word names for business i open short simple memorable

the photo below........if you like cocktails tells you all you need to about what you will find in this diner.... it is to the right of rosie's just ate there monday after going to a flea....always yummy makes you think of the paper towel lady in the diner commercial if you are old enough to know that

this last picture was too good not to share.................................

the belching pig............and the bottom says "BIG AL'S PIE HOLE"

when i choose elements one of my friend said " i don't like it too common" ...........i told her thanks but it's like naming your child and she didn't get a vote.........what sets it apart and gives it the proper brand is the tag line..................

bohemian artifacts.curious acqusitions...........................

can't wait to invite you in....
