Around River North By Day

I saw this advertisement on a local bus stop... and had to laugh when I saws the "Choose Authenticity" slogan on the bottom. I am certain that actual "authentic" Russians don't drink blackberry flavored vodka... likely either the cheapest rotgut available (in a plastic bottle) or something super-expensive for their billionaire robber barons.
Another reason not to own a nice car in the city... you can see the two different piles of smashed glass where someone knocked out car windows while stealing something inside. The term for banged up cars like that is "citified".
Has there ever been an oriental rug store anywhere that wasn't perpetually going out of business? It seems to be a long term trend... or maybe a business model where you claim a big sale and then set up shop elsewhere.
