Last week I saw a hairdressers called Curl Up & Dye. This is now my favourite Business name ever. My second favourite is a takeaway called Abrakebabra.
What are yours?

i dunno. all those pictures seem very suspect.
they're very low resolution, on purpose it seems.
and the reflection in the car window on this picture doesn't seem to match the shop.
i call bullshit on this "book of real places"
