There was Hot Bird and Nuñez.

These buildings are in Prospect Heights, but they remind me of some of the street corners I saw while vacationing in Zihuatenejo, Mexico earlier this year.  I really dig the washed out yellows and reds, and the defiant vegetation erupting from the broken sidewalk.

I used to deliver for Hot Bird but I hung out in the Club Royale, underneath Union Street in the late night style of Reggae Clubhouse Masters. I couldnt get up for work at all cause I was going to bed at about that time, and not to deliver birds seemed the least important thing to do in my opinion. It was fun while it lasted, but I miss royale and not the hot bird.

I am almost certainly sure I got typhoid in a similar type place in Zihuatenejo, and I think it could be from the pork rolls or maybe the Mexican style burritos. In any event I always avoid eating extensively at all in brightly colored restaurants from then, and it seems to work out most of the time. I still go to Nathans for hotdogs, cause you can only live once.

Reminds me of some of the maps in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360 version)

Hot Bird was a take out delivery business that advertised free range organic chicken in the late 80's .
It was good but a little expensive and probably ahead of it s time.

Heh - I passed by those buildings the other day and wished I had my camera. Glad you had yours. :o)

That's awesome. It reminds me a little of parts of LA, probably because of the strong sunshine and all.
