signs: 1/4lb Burger Xpress

1/4 lb. Giant Burger Xpress

Part of the 1/4 lb. Giant Burger chain, but with a different name and type of sign. And barely in Oakland -- Emeryville is just to the south and west. Trees and billboards make it tough to get a good shot of this with the sun on it. Any North Oaklanders know if they still light it at night?

More bits and pieces. Today I was up to Berkeley to get a new charger for my electric bike. After nearly two years of faithful service, the charger died. Unfortunately I had to wait a week for a new charger to be in stock, but I was able to pick it up today. I celebrated back in Oakland by hanging out at Actual Cafe for a while, reading a friend's book about Gertrude Stein. But first I wandered around the area a bit to take some pictures.

















The last is the latest addition to my Neighborhood Name Signs project. It's not bad as vinyl banners go, but it's still a vinyl banner in the end.
