my favorite store in park slope

This is my favorite store in park slope (click on the picture to enlarge & read the green awning):


Yes, it's Stop & Fifth, which is either at the corner of of Fifth Ave and Stop Street, or else the proprietors think "fifth" is a verb. Maybe it's some obscure, extremely thorough way of practicing Robert's Rules of Order.

"I second."
"I third."
"I fourth."
[...silence...]
"Anyone? C'mon, we need someone to fifth this motion before we can vote on it. What about you, Johnson? I fifthed your stupid 'chips and salsa at all meetings' motion last week."
