Can’t miss it!
That’s for sure!
Interesting find, Mike.
Hi Gracie. Yes, pink on buildings is most unusual.
You have to wonder why they would have chosen pink, unless, like you said, it was on sale. Pepto Pink…..50% off sale
Curious but then again it does garner attention.
I’ve never figured out why people paint buildings pink. In Hawaii, the biggest military hospital (Tripler) sits quite “pinkly” on the side of a prominent mountain. Me, I’m just getting around to wearing pink. I’d go to your bait shop in a green building.
A pink military hospital, of all things.
Thanks for the look and the comment.
Very interesting…..back in the 50′s there was a popular color called “salmon” which was a little darker, maybe age caused the color to turn more “pink” after time….you are correct in the color green or even a shade of brown….salmon or pink is not my choice either…..
Yes, I remember those colors back in the 50′s and 60′s. Perhaps the bait shop owner wanted to pay homage to those dealing with an illness, like breast cancer.
“Pink bait shop” just has all kinds of allusions for me. Kinda funny. Cool photo. Fun find.
Yo Terry.
While I’m not a fan of the color pink, by any stretch of the imagination, I AM a fan of windows, rust, and really good photography, so this definitely gets a LIKE from me!
Thanks Alex. Rust and pink, an interesting color scheme.
Pink bait? They must sell worms?
It was locked but since this is salt water I doubt they had worms. Shrimp, small fish, and squid.
This was painted by the same guys who did that other building in Pepto-Bismol color, how can I forget that!
Which other building was that?
One with columns if I’m not mistaken, it was a long while you posted it.
Oh yeah, what a great memory you have Marielba.
It’s raining here everyday.The pink color give me a good feeling.
That makes me happy Marylou, and I totally mean that.
The pink certainly catches the eye. A question, though, is why the bait shop has bars on the window.
To keep the bait in? I don’t have an answer but my best guess is about preventing burglaries.
Pepto Bismal for bad fish?
Just thinking of Pepto makes me gag.
That IS a pink bait shop…another garage sale purchase put to good use…pink paint….
I like pink. There is a warmth to it that I can appreciate in the winter months. I like bait shops (but don’t need ‘em since we have plenty of worms in our compost pile). Seems all okay to me.
Cool. Thanks Robin.
