The Stark County Auditor website says the left half of the building is from 1919 and the right half is from 1927. Since the two halves are united by a single symmetrical false front, I HAVE CHOSEN TO BELIEVE that its current appearance is more 1927 than 1919.

Moreover I have decided that my belief shall become everybody's truth.

I advise my clients to do their best to try to hide their dumpsters from the direct view of potential customers.

It is the entrance to "The Rusty Pelican," a wineshop in Gaylord, Michigan.

The absurd proliferation of awnings, the "damaged bird" theme of the business name, the mess of severe winter, the wine, "The Rusty Dumpster," the smalltown inland Northern Lower Peninsula locale known mainly for asshole snowmobilers — the commercial messaging of this wineshop is entirely incoherent.

The building is said to have been erected in the year 1900 and remodeled in 1965. Will you believe it!
