Where there are tourists, there are business opportunities. All you need is a 12"x12" cloth. It also turns into a very convenient container when they are done selling the Eiffel tower key chain in one spot.

Fresh & Easy!
Fresh & Easy has opened in Eagle Rock! Our friend says that "They are popping out everywhere!!". How do I describe the store? Small Costco with lots of organic food with self check-out?? The price point is competitive with Trader Joe's and has a lot of healthy pre-cooked food. If our house were closer, I probably would be shopping there all the time.
Asylum store, Singapore
Asylum store in Singapore. Love 2D/3D effect of this visual. Also very analog... Their website is also interactive and fun!
Audrey, can you check the store out?? :)

Smart house in Venice, CA
Yesterday we had a chance to visit Smart House in Venice. It's a temporary home for Smart launch in U.S. We were wishing for more of lifestyle experience but they made us feel like were were in a place where it is meant to host a cool event. (which they probably have done to promote Smart) It's a fun place to visit if you can stroll the rest of Abbat Kinney street to enjoy the sunny weekend.

Pawnshop
We came across really interesting business model through coolhunting.com post.
a pawnshop is a short-term loan business, which retains a collateral object (artwork) in exchange for cash -- a small fraction of the object's (artwork's) value that must be repaid with interest for the item is to be re-claimed by its original owner. If, after 30 days, the item (artwork) has not been claimed, the pawnbroker earns the right to sell it, and the pawned object remains on display until it is picked up or purchased by someone else.
Taking old ideas with negative association and turning into something more desirable. How about that for innovative business model?
