Blooms

This is one of the areas we were able to see clearly -- the floral department, with another of the large word collages in the background. This one is even in the Main & Vine color scheme! Even better, Peter Kirk Park -- the very large lettering that's the centerpiece of this sign -- is literally (and I don't use that word lightly!) right outside this store -- it's the space to the left of the road in this picture. Here's a nice Street View angle showing the new store (left), old store (ahead), and park (right).

Flowers are appropriate today, as this marks the two year anniversary of my original photostream! It's hard to believe it's only been two years -- so much has changed (on here, in my real life, and especially in the retail world), I've seen tons of cool places, and hopefully I've posted plenty of stuff that's proven interesting to others as well! Who even knows, at this point, what the next year will bring 🙂

I would do what Retail Retell (who also chose a much better day of the year to start posting...) always does and put some inspirational speech here... but I'm really bad at that, and with only 5-6 regular readers as far as I can tell, I doubt there's anyone reading this that doesn't already post stuff. But still, if anyone out there is from this neck of the woods (or not, for that matter) and isn't, you should really think about starting -- it's great fun, plus it's getting lonely as the only northwest retail guy out there! 😉
