seeing the past, present, and future

It's amazing how many "psychic readers" have storefronts in Oakland.  Who goes to these folks?  This advisor is on Park Blvd.  But I see them all over Oakland along with the ubiquitous nail shops.

  2. Why would I pay someone to find out the past? I already know it. I like your photo that has recorded the past for ever.

  3. Interesting shot and text. "The truth is out there" but it's not for sale. "Freely you have received, freely give." A thought-provoking post, and the hand is weird.

  4. As the saying goes "There's a sucker born every minute", business must always be good. At least these establishments are always clean and tidy looking from the street.

    A Psychic is pulled over by a cop.
    Psychic to cop: "Why did you stop me?"
    Cop to psychic: "You're a psychic. You tell me!"

  8. I wonder the same thing! There must be a segment of the population that needs their services.
