Mexico City Shopfronts

Bill and I  were constantly being caught by the look of Mexican shopfronts
Our beloved Roma Norte neighbourhood gave us some wonderful faded grandeur.
We wonder what was under this facade before it became a corner store.
This hole-in-the-wall corner store is also typical of Roma Norte.
Over by the Catedral Metropolitana we found a street of full-on tourist glitz. 
This contemporary facade draws the eye to a network of high-end food shops within.
 We always respond to hand-painted signs (locksmith).
Parking garage entrance
Plumber
Locksmith, plumber and by the looks of it -- small vehicle repair.
Noticed two examples of this three part grill --
shop will open but not yet.
I love this corner store. 
 This restaurant facade features a collage of three dimensional objects all painted green.
I love the abstraction of this stack of wallboard.
And this one.
The Coyoacana area has its own rough-and-ready look
 Wonderful reds
Geometric perfection.

  2. Interesting restaurant facade collage in green, if it was in white or black, I might think Roger Wood had been there before you.
