It used to be a 50-60s furniture store and the upper portion was an apartment. The super-cool thing about this building is (was? - might not be there anymore) when you open the garage doors there's an open courtyard. There were a bunch of furniture builders living there for a while. It looks like the really fixed the place up. It like the looks of it! I lived right behind this place for several years.

I highly recommend the butterscotch p0t-du-creme. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back there.

I'm not sure what this building houses, but it was so refreshing seeing all these plants sprouting out of a building. The Japanese are great with incorporating gardens into their buildings. Have you seen pictures of Namba Parks? Incredible! http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/2584/dsc00244gf3.jpg http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/9043/dsc00245lf9.jpg I thought you might get a kick out of these 2 photos I snapped while in Osaka, Japan a couple of months ago.

That building houses Gjelina -- a new restaurant that follows the annoying trend of thinking it is so cool it doesn't need to put up a sign. My neighborhood on Design Sponge!
