Movies used to have amnesiacs all the time. In case you never saw one, what happens is, a person loses his or her memory, there’s pain and trouble, then memory is regained, with difficulty. This neon sign would be a perfect memory aid for someone just waking up, I though, assuming they were from the County of Kings.

I got the tofu burrito with black beans and rice. It was actually pretty good, but what worried me was the lack of letter grade posted in the window. The only other customer was getting four orders of chicken wings. I don’t know where you’d find those on the menus.

It’s a purveyor of meat, at 222 Court Street. I’m no fan of the carne, but I do like the neon. This shop, around since 1917, has such a loyal allegiance that it’s hard to find anyone who will say a negative word about this place and all the meat, game, and gourmet products it has for sale.

The mind will fill in missing letters out of habit. If all the letters were burned out, would people still go there? I think so.

About twice a year the craving for fast, convenient food coincides with the late-night hours of the neighborhood Chinese restaurant. It sits heavily it in belly, the food from Mr. Tong’s, and you vow not to go there again, NOT EVER, but you will.
