Fun House

    October 1, 2008 - March 4, 2009.
    Now that I reached the 1,000 post mark I thought I should make a change before I got further. I am not going anywhere, far from it. I have just always disliked the Fun House name. It's too boring, too generic, and not me. I started using it because I couldn't think of anything better. So, as of right now I am going to by What Makes The Pie Shops Tick? It's a bit weird but I like it. It's from and article I found in April 1970 issue of Baking Industry talking about the success of pie shops.

    Thank you all so very much for visiting my flickr site. What started as a way to cure my boredom and become a full-fledged obsession!

      Thanks so much, Ms. BlueSky. It's quirky and a bit weird but a lot more memorable than Fun House! Here's the banner to that article:

      Thanks, Jim and Loungelistener! I am sorry to disappoint. I just needed a change.

      I saw the new name and wondered if it was you! The new one is cool but take it from me (well, from me as "katherine of chicago"), having a long Flickr name can be a bit of a challenge.

      and since no one else said anything, congrats on your 1000th post! (I reached that a couple weeks ago on this account too! I'm guessing that like me, you have 1000s more items already on hand to post...)

      Katherine - Thank you so much for the comments. Congrats on your 1000th post, too.I have sooooo many things to post that it might take me like 6 years. Plus, I add like 10 things everyday. Oh well.

      I know it's going to be a bit more of a hassle but I felt the need to do something different. I will abbreviate it if have to. WMTPST? I guess that doesn't roll of the tongue (or fingers) either. Oh well. I made my Pie Shops and I guess I am going to have to sleep in it (or them).

      The MAN on the right
      surely was an upstanding,
      financially ASCENDING
      solid citizen ,
      COMPREHENDING
      the values of THE PIE STORE
      he was attending!
