Happy Tuesday: Fun facts with Rocky

Yesterday several of you mentioned that you thought the name 'Sanitary Fish Market (FYI it is also a restaurant)' was rather odd. 
As a child, it was my families favorite Seafood Restaurant.  Here is some info on why it was named Sanitary Fish Market and Restaurant


The Sanitary Fish Market & Restaurant in Morehead City, NC, got its name because founders Tony Seamon and Ted Garner wanted to signal its cleanliness, a contrast to typical messy fish markets, and because the building's owner required they keep it neat and not sell alcohol, ensuring a family-friendly, "sanitary" environment. 
Details of the Name's Origin
  • Cleanliness Promise: In 1938, when they opened there were 12 stools.  Most fish markets were considered dirty; Seamon and Garner chose the name to assure customers of their commitment to hygiene and a wholesome atmosphere.
  • Building Owner's Rules: The owner of the rented space, Charles Wallace, stipulated that no beer or wine be sold and the premises remain clean, reinforcing the "Sanitary" theme.
  • Family-Friendly: The name was a deliberate marketing choice to attract families, distinguishing them from other establishments and projecting compliance with the owner's strict rules.

Photo below out of book
The little gray basket with paw prints was 10.00 I had to buy it to hold my yarn


A better view of long draping bottom of front of my penning Poncho.



This is an ambitious project...which will take some time.
It is rather large front 36" wide, front length 28", back 30"
shoulder width 17".  As you can see from the photo, it is supposed to be a loose fit. MOL if I don't join it under the arms
it could be a lap Afghan.

the sun shines twice as bright and my sun puddles are twice as warm

Madi was such a good model she had inner peace and tranquility...and seemed to enjoy it.  100% love in those green cat eyes.  She is on the table at breakfast looking at me.
