One Booches, hold the cars

It's not often you see Booche's without any cars parked in front of it.  This was taken a few years ago during that fortuitous juncture between the end of spring semester and the beginning of summer school. 

Seize the night

This address on Locust Street has been reiterated in several different guises during my personal tenure in Columbia.  The first I remember was Mom's Tattoo, probably one of the earlier tattoo parlors in downtown Columbia.  Prior to that it was, at some point, a location for Acorn Books.  A few years ago it was Carpe Diem, a kind of latter day salon for gatherings and ideas.  It currently houses a Polish restaurant, by all accounts serving simple and delicious food.  I think that when I photographed it on this particular night, Carpe Diem had just about seized its last day in this location.
