I've mentioned before that as a child I was a huge fan of Godzilla, thanks to my dinosaur obsession and the TBS daytime programming, which regularly featured Japanese anime, kaijū and giant robot shows. This is a poster for the American edition of the first film. When I saw it, I immediately thought, "I want one!" Then I read the flavor text and recalled the origins of the creature. Depressing.
Tam Tam Shot Bar is around the corner from Godzilla. I didn't venture inside, but I liked the shapes and colors of the exterior.
This might be the door to Tam Tam, but I can't recall for sure. It's definitely next door. I assumed this a fired out local, but when I went past later on my way home it was open for business. Nice. Thirty years ago you could have plopped Steve, Paul, Johnny and Sid in front of this door and nothing would have looked out of place.
Terrible photo, but I had to share. This is just classic.
And finally, a life-size statue of the manga character Ashita no Joe. That's it for Nakano.
