Contest 217: A new business
I came across this rather forlorn vacant shop in an unloved corner of a shopping arcade. The perfect place, perhaps, to start selling - what? Can you suggest a business that would fit in here?

It's a perspective puzzle this week, of course. Can you read the vanishing points out of this scene, and build an interior to match?

High res is here.

Clever as always. I don't think I would dare step foot near that haunting yet spiritual shop.

Thanks Scott and Celia!

Charlotte, what a "karmic" coincidence. I really had no idea. Certainly forces at work here.

Ben, your butcher shop is brilliant.

Lot of good work this week, but I like yours Ben, the perspective seems right and so is the realism

Seattle's premier bank, WaMu, was taken over by the Fed's last week.

The bank's advertised slogan was "Whoo hoo." Considering who ran the bank, it's really "Whoo Whoo Whoo, Whoo, nyck, nyck, nyck."

Neal,

Now that's precious! That really is a sign of the times for today. Wish I had thought of it.
