AJLynn Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Atelier Bow Wow is actually a really good firm. Their name is some unfortunate Engrish (or as we used to call it "fushigi na eego"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On US 33 in Brandywine, WV. I stopped there once on a road trip and bought a t-shirt for my husband. And a milkshake. And some fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronll Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Law firm in my neighborhood called, "Lawless and Foe". My biggest peeve about architectural firm names is the trend to initials that I think started back in the seventies. Of course now everyone knows Naramore Bain Brady and Johanson as NBBJ. But many of the smaller firms that followed this trend just get lost in the alphabet soup. I also think its a disservice to the names of the founders and partners.

There was a doner kebab place near Santissima Annunciata in Florence where we used to go after pubbing because it was the only decent fast food available late at night. I think the proprietors were Moroccan. It was thin sliced, crispy and spicy and delicious. You should take a Ryanair flight down there and get some. There's also a great place nearby that specializes in edible lingerie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I enjoy a good doner, I would prefer a place within taxi ride of the pub rather than flying distance, Also starting to wonder if our overseas friends (not counting aussies obviously) are aware of who Jason Donovan is and if this van name didn't translate as well as I thought it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian P Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 P.S. AJ, Describing a Doner Kebab is to someone from the North (or south for that matter) of England is like describing McDonalds to an American, there are at least 5 kebab shops within 10 min walk of my house.
