Funny Signs - Monthly Theme

Funny signs
I nearly forgot about the monthly theme Funny signs - Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.
Walking home I took a photo of the famous side street in Old Town allowing only pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
A paradise for bicyclists, but very short one :)

Black Cats House

Black Cats on Roof
I guess Black Cats House is one the few Riga sights, which still have not been presented on Riga Daily Photo.
The urban legend says that initially Black Cats were installed like they were sh*tting on the Great Guild, the building which is just across the street. Then the guild elders forced owner of this yellow building to turn the cats.
Also, here is a famous place called Melnais Kakis.

Dear Anonymous, I have been coming to this house many times during the past month in order to catch better picture and better light, but this is maximum, what I could take with my camera.
