Commit no nuisance

On a recent trip to London to represent OpenSearch at the State of Open Con, my friend James and I were walking around the St. Pauls area, near The Wren Coffee shop. We glanced over just in time to see James standing under a sign - so of course we had to snap a fun picture.

For some reason, the sign looked familiar, but I didn't think anything of it. Last week, I realized where I had seen the sign before - an old picture of Love and Rockets!

I examined the picture and am convinced this is the exact same sign - check out the details in the bricks directly under the sign - small brick, then longer brick with similar features. Then, the same scarring on the fourth brick

It has to be the same spot. Now I wish I'd taken a picture as well!

I have another trip to London scheduled in a month or so - definitely going to try and recreate the Love and Rockets picture myself.

I love finding things like this when I travel.
