    Does the painted Falafel Shawarma sign refer to anything still in existence? (I tend to avoid that corner at all costs so please excuse my ignorance.)

    when that falafal place opened they had a naming contest which i entered but did not win. my suggested name was "where the f*ck is the pizza place?"

    my name clearly made more sense :)
