Skywatch Friday: Rossi's flower shop

An institution on Fruitvale Avenue in East Oakland.  The business opened in 1910 and has been in this building since the 30s.  The deco sign is what gets my attention.  The most recent rain storm has passed and fair weather is expected for the next few days.  For more sky photos, visit Skywatch Friday.

    I really thought this was taken in the Philippines. You can still find that kind of structure in the Philippines. Great capture and thanks for sharing!

    Yes, the deco sign is arresting, and the reflection nice too.

    I did a double take. The florist in my Massachusetts home town had a sign like that.

    Great sign. Glad to hear that a business like this has survived in the same spot for so long.
