Sorry, We're Closed: Siesta in Toledo
Very often in Spain shops will leave their doors ajar during siesta,
a promise that they will reopen that evening.

Shops We Love: Don Flamenco
Unfortunately, this little gem was closed so we didn't get the opportunity to go inside.
The doorway and walls were plastered with posters in support of the local Flamenco community.
We love the art in this window!

Sorry, We're Closed...
...the latest instalment in an ongoing look at the city way after dark.
Most of the town shuts down a little earlier on Sunday night.

Oddfellows was wrapping things up.
Others had been locked up tight for a few hours already.
But the occasional watering hole was still ready to welcome a thirsty traveller

The City Sleeps
Don't you love it when you find little local shops & services that have survived decades of change, and still look the way they likely did on the day they opened? The best are those that reflect a specific culture, or are really representative of a bygone era. Sadly (and logically, we suppose) they're getting harder & harder to find.
We also love looking at storefronts after they're closed. If the shop is interesting enough, or evokes some kind of emotional response, it's like seeing a still life art piece, or a curated museum installation. Its soul is laid bare, without all the people and their flurries of activities to cloud the imagery.
We feel especially lucky when we happen upon these two conditions simultaneously-
a unique Mom & Pop shop closed up tight for the night.
We recently stumbled upon such a gem and are presenting it as a way of introducing
a new semi-regular feature here at Bobofeed:
"Sorry- We're Closed"
"Sorry- We're Closed" will feature the places that still manage to draw us in even though the sign in the window says "please call again..."
So without further ado here is Corrado's Barber Shop
located on Bathurst Street just south of Queen St W.
 |
| We're convinced the addition of the words "Men's Hair Stylist" is the only concession to changing times this place has ever tolerated! |
We'd like to think that Sr. & Sra. Corrado still live upstairs!
Tell us about the little treasures you've found hiding in your neck of the woods...
(all cities & towns welcome!)
