If you don’t have a car, it’s not easy getting to and from the Brooklyn Home Depot on foot, especially when it’s pouring rain.
Store on a 4th Avenue corner

NYC pictogram
Just an average corner store. Weather rubbed off the details, but the blue outline on the sign is enough – we instantly know it’s a Greek-motif paper cup. Remnants of long-gone letters spell out Donuts and Sanka. Do people still ask for the fake coffee by name?
The other side of the sign is less subtle. Real aluminum soda cans are embedded in it, but they didn’t stand up well to the elements. The dents in the cans are especially mysterious – were they caused by flying objects?
