On my way home from Philadelphia, stopped at a red light on the always-congested Roosevelt Boulevard. This flower monger was missing his opportunity...TEXTING...one-two-three...

There is a real car twirling on top of Barbera's!

New age storytelling lol. Seems like some people just cannot stop texting. I wish people would actually engage in real conversation face to face. #10092492

I think a lot of opportunities are missed while texting! It really is a different world today! I love all of your images, Michelle, because they are always interesting and have a wonderful story to tell! Fantastic capture here with fabulous colour and treatment! Cool dealership in the background too! :) #10103794
