I recently tried to have lunch at Hounddog’s Pizza in Columbus, Ohio. A friend says they have the absolute best pizza around and they even have some good meatless options so my mouth was watering by the time we arrived. Tragically, they were closed when we were there so I’ll have to return another day.
Meanwhile, I did snap this photo in their parking lot. Anyone with a fabulous piece of art like this is worthy of a second trip!

What a great way to promote their business! I bet it gets a lot of smiles!
It certainly does a nice job drawing attention to their place which would otherwise be much harder to spot from the street. I like businesses that embrace the unique and give us all a reason to look twice and hopefully smile!
Not 100% certain, but that might be a 1964 Cadillac Sedan De Ville. Some call it art… some of us feel bad for a such a cool car NOT to be on the highway.
You know, I would much rather see an old car fixed up and out in the wild. This one would be a sight to behold cruising down the highway. But we don’t know the story behind this one. Maybe the owner has some sentimental attachment to the car or maybe it needed a repair they couldn’t afford and turning it into an attraction/sign has helped their business? I dunno but will try to find out when I go back!
I sure hope it attracted business. And it’s a great piece of Auto-Art that surely was a beyond repair vehicle saved from the crusher.

But I can’t help but feel a little sad seeing a car not in its natural environment; the highway.

If you do find out more, I look forward to hearing the story behind the Cadillac.
I’ll see what I can do!
And yes – art is better than the crusher. Here in my Appalachian region, people often have emotional attachments to a vehicle but not the need or the means to make it run. Sometimes you’ll see a rusty old car on blocks in someone’s back yard and you will learn that it was their first car or that it belonged to grandpa. People have lots of motivations and thoughts where vehicles are concerned.
Believe me, I get it. It’s easy to have an emotional connection to a car that took you special places, or with special people.

In this modern, disposable world, I’m just glad to see people holding on to things from the past. Just because it ain’t perfect doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve to exist.
Agreed!! This disable world we live in is perplexing at best. As you say, perfection shouldn’t be a requirement for existence!
Imperfections aren’t bad; they’re human. And a little rust just shows how long someone’s been around the block.

It’s like the great philosopher Tow Mater said in Cars 2 “…I don’t get them dents buffed, pulled, filled or painted by nobody. They way too valuable. I come by each one of ’em with friends. I wanna remember these dents forever…”
I actually like imperfections because they give people and things character. Great quote!
Yup. Don’t need to watch where I’m going. Just need to know where I’ve been.
It took me a double look before seeing the hound on the roof! Cool.
lol. It’s creative advertising. I’ll give them that!
Bummer! Hopefully you’ll have better luck next time. Love the picture!
It’s on my list! I’ll get there someday!
