Oh, wait, it’s 2012, isn’t it? Of course, I realize that it’s 2012: the year the world ends to those who also believe reality shows aren’t scripted and think the earth is 7,000 years old.

Last week, Gamestop’s HQ in San Francisco creates 8 bit mural with post-its.

Happened upon this gem of a food estblishment while walking past Rust Street in Maspeth, Queens. Looks like it belongs in a movie, eh?
