RELIGIOUS PAREIDOLIA...

…is the best. One minute, some lady in Mexico sets her stove on too high, and the next minute, thousands of people are making a pilgrimage to see St. Peter’s face on a framed tortilla. Yay!

Seek out your own religious moment at this cute little creperie. But bring your own to-go tupperware if you’re a light eater. The Ti Couz homies don’t believe in paper waste!

Holy grilled cheese.

Like I always say, there’s no greater way to pass the time than to spend a day looking for trees shaped like animals. Sigh.

Go trade in this char for one that looks less like a creepy smiling face at Community Thrift. It’s a whole warehouse of treasures.

Grab a replacement light switch plate here, before you actually run up your electricity bill because of your light switch’s bad attitude. It’s a classic old world style place with lots of cute little trinkets.

Go here to search the shells of turtles on your own. You might strike it rich. But be sure to go for the Thursday nightlife events. It’s only $10, and there are no little runny nosed kids trying to block your view of the cool rock fish.

I love buffalo burgers, but I could go here for the homemade chips, alone…
