Foaming At The Mouth

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of

Monday are a busy day for me. I do about an hour of lifting (leg muscles) and another half hour of cardio. Then I go to a different gym and do an hour of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So I'm walking home from the second gym, heading thru the residential area just northwest of Old Town, and by now I'm pretty gassed for the day. I'm not feeling bad but not particularly good, either. Then I get to Wells Street, right outside Kamehachi, and for whatever reason, I look to the upper floors of the building across the street. On the second floor, in the windows facing the street, someone has thought to hire a painter (or do it themselves, but it looked professional) to paint a simple sign in three of the windows facing the street: "Spade and Archer Private Detectives"

God, how that made my day. That there's somebody in the neighborhood with the wit for such a move and the desire to go to the trouble of doing it. It did my heart such good.
ckdexterhaven:
It's so cool that someone would do that. Such a great flick. One of the best openings in film history, when they show the San Francisco scenery, and then they show the outside of their office building. Something about that film just transports me to a whole different world. smile
edit: I just noticed that you have "The Kennel Murder Case" listed as one of your favorite films. That's the detective one that William Powell did before he started the Thin Man series, right? I remember that it was really good. smile

Yeah, Kennel Murder Case was either a year or two before Powell did The Thin Man. I think he had done another Philo Vance movie (The Canary Murder Case) before that but I'll have to check IMDB. After that, while Powell was doing Thin Man, they gave the role to Warren William. He was good but of course, he was no William Powell.
