I absolutely love the style of this store's facade, with the blocks of translucent, colorful window film. It's a really cool look, and I have to imagine it's fairly simple to do, so it's too bad you don't see stuff like this more often.
It is pretty neat, but it's 'clear' that is window film and not authentic stained glass. Oh well, I'm sure the latter is far too expensive! That said, the Fiesta Mart near me does have stained glass which shines onto the produce department. It's hard to tell from here, but hopefully you can make out the colors in the three semi-circle windows: https://goo.gl/maps/pZLTXYDkCpGSTKsR9
That's neat seeing a first generation Nissan Altima in this photo! Actually, when those first came out, they were called Nissan Stanza Altimas. Nissan had been calling their mid-sized cars Stanzas, but they wanted to switch to Altima. I suppose they hedged their bets by using both names until the Altima name was established, lol. As you can see, that was from when jelly bean shaped cars were popular, but this is hardly the worst implementation of jelly bean design which I would have to give to the 1996 Ford Taurus. As for the Nissan, they did have one problem where the trunk lock was located under the Nissan logo on the back. You had to flip the Nissan logo up to get to the lock, but often the logo would fall off. It looks like that problem happened with this car, but otherwise it looks good considering it's ~25 years old.
Yeah, I'm sure real stained glass is a bit pricey these days, even for a company like Whole Foods. But I still think this looks pretty nice, at least compared to plain glass!
It's a bit surprising to see a car like that here, since this is probably the most upscale mall in the Seattle area! But it certainly does seem like people tend to keep their cars longer around here than they do in many other parts of the country.
