: New:

Some weeks back, I saw a post on the New Bohemia Signs tumblr, a picture of art&artists, students in a sign-painting hand-lettering class.

Beyond admiring the handiwork, I also was interested in the sign that said "Haight," since I live near Haight. Spelling out the Japanese phonetic characters カメレオン, I figured it was for a shop called Chameleon… which was confusing since I didn't know about any such Haight-area shop.

Then I forgot about it until my exercise walk this morning. Suddenly, a new shop appeared: カメレオン, at 1605 Haight.

Sorry I didn't stick around to take a clearer picture; it was raining.
