Crooked Cue

I happened upon this cool sign on Bloor St in the Kingsway neighborhood and love the deco look of the stonework. I would like to see the neon lit up but am never out that way after dark - it may be worth a trip!

    That's funny because we never seem to be out to get signs lit up either.

    Great deco building and fun sign, though I don't think a crooked cue is helpful in billiards!

    It seems there are two cool signs - the Crooked Cue and the Billiards. Intriguing, for sure. I'd go check it out but I'm kinda behind the 8 ball here in Ocala. (I have no idea what that means.)

    I wonder why the cue is crooked. :))

    This looks like it might be a small place - but I'm betting it is much bigger on the inside!

    That is a good find. I think we both need to go out at night with our cameras

    deco architecture and furniture is my favorite. I don't go out at night if I can help it, but something like this sign might be worth venturing out.

    Interesting choice of name. I am think the building might have been a movie theater at one time.

    A nice bright sign. I am lazy for getting night time lit up signs. Once Dinner's eaten & I sit down that's usually where I stay.

    I was inspired. I took my camera around town & got some great photos of lit up signs!!!

    Crooked cue. Sounds like one of our national political debates.
