Are you not allowed to take pictures of things that are on public display in the Land of the Free?

I like it better this way too . . . more character . . .altho there are probably plenty of 'characters' INside

I like it too, it's better they spend the money on resources and supplies for patients than have a fancy neon sign...

Great sign ... looks like they've lost a little bit of the 'magic' tho!!!

This is a wonderful sign! Nice shot!

Definitely more interesting this way than all painted and spruced up. (Looks like the sign itself does need some major surgery though.) I'm pretty self-conscious myself when taking photos in public, and that actually makes me mad at myself; I don't think there should be anything wrong with it. It is okay for people to be curious I guess.

Not sure I would go there for treatment! Good find.

I generally ignore anyone who talks to me while I'm photographing; and I make photos of kids all the time... then, again, I'm just an ordinary looking fake blonde who lives in tourist heaven...like the tones.

Nice capure. Reminds me of my jumbled magnetic alphabet board.

You'd think twice if you needed a Doctor!! I too though it said Craft magical!

I dunno if I'd go there for brain surgery :o) Your story reminded me of my encounter with the somewhat aggressive property owner who confronted me as to why I was taking a picture of his "Dogs in Yard - Owner Not Responsible for Injury or Death Sign" sign. When I explained I thought it was just because it was an unusual sign, he said, well it was just a joke. Right..!

I thought the sign said Craft Magical, so had to read the explaination twice..

Sometimes shots like these are keepers.

Great find Karen!

It is interesting how aware people are of photographers. I am often asked what are you doing? and I could just be taking a shot of a crack in the sidewalk. The times that we live in, has made it very difficult to take candids of childern.. which I can understand.

That's a great sign Karen. Pleased you let him know it doesn't have to be glitzy to be good !
