I took this picture last July, but I never developed the film until now. This sign speaks for itself, wouldn't you say? Even its form is perfect. I've been admiring it since I moved here three years ago.

You're right: form+content=stellar! Not to mention devilishly humorous.
Looking forward to signs in P'land!

You mean you didn't scratch out the "tails" with photoshop or something?? This is actually how the sign looks? No way. I'm going to Portland, I gotta see this. And your picture is perfect, the way the sign looms arrogantly over us.

Some like the first half, and others like the second... Cocktals is a truly democratic word!
