To Commemorate the return of Dr Hotballs, I suggest a "Dr Hotballs, PhD, MD" Doctors office sign.  :trollface: :ashat:

While I love those vintage signs, what I would be really interested in is the fonts being used.  :D :trollface:

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

If Ed has anything, and he does (Kapuscinski Tool Works) it would need to be in Helvetica because hipster.

I have always wanted to model a peanut store called "The Nut Sack."  Or a jazz club called "The Rusty Trombone."

I don't think a classy place like Portage, PA ever had a jazz club, but I'll have a Rusty Trombone on my layout.
