Loyal reader Brian R. risked life and limb clamoring across several lanes of busy traffic in the booming metropolis of Wenatchee, WA to snap this photo of Carlos 1800 Mexican Grill. Thanks, Brian. Keep those submissions coming.

Chinese Star in Houston, TX
Janie, the submitter, claims that this place is "actually surprisingly really tasty." I find her presuppositions upon which this review is based both insulting and lazy, but I will forgive her, since her Gmail account avatar that showed up in the email she sent was actually surprisingly really cute.
Although, it is high time that I made a proclamation, so here goes: banners tied to windows are not signs. Unless you are letting people know that you are still open following a natural disaster, there is no excuse to have anything besides a sturdy, painted, mounted sign up. Backlighting preferred but not required.
Red Rock Bar & Grill in Whyalla, South Australia
Some paranoid Aussie (who prefers to remain nameless) submitted this one with the follow message:
I was a dishwasher and delivery boy when this was a Pizza Hut. The bins stank and crickets used to come up through the bathroom drains. Its current owners were very nervous about my smartphone snaps. To my knowledge, it's not illegal to take a photo of a building in South Australia, but they sent a guy out to question me who not-so-subtly committed my plates to memory.Well, paranoid Aussie, we commend your heroic efforts and we thank you for intelligently waiting until after dark to properly case this establishment for your impending crime spree.
He said they'd had a lot of break-ins lately, and then I felt bad. So, I went in to find the manager and explain. She said she had taken a picture of me to give to police!
Fair enough, I guess. I don't care that they thought I was a criminal, but I'm insulted they thought me dumb enough to take recon photos in broad daylight, from my own parked car, during business hours.
Let that be a lesson to the rest of you. It turns out the old Pizza Huts that we are photographing and mocking online are, themselves, photographing us, ostensibly for their own blog called "Used to be an Interesting Person."
Tipico's in Dallas, TX
Another day, another Pizza Hut turned Mexican place. Such a common occurrence at this point, that they may as well start just naming these places Spanish words that mean, "standard, commonplace, or normal." Maybe something like the Spanish word for "typical" would be good. OH WAIT, THAT IS WHAT IT IS!
I am sure this is a great place, and the income tax truck out front is probably also a great place to have your taxes done while you wait for your tostadas.
Thanks to Christoper for the submission.
