Two: Brownie's summer veg store spells its name in tiny pumpkins.

Brownie died a few months ago. The store used to specialize in sweet corn that he grew on the land where it stands. I wonder whether it will open again next year.

@analog_cafe The customer for this film can is someone who owns a $7000 Leica because someone told him it was cool and thinks that a design like this would be fittingly ostentatious. In fact, money aside, it's jarringly ahistorical. To my taste, the original (free) version looks nicer.
