Alster Pavilion, Inc., 62-14 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

The gifts that they sell are so distinctive, they're "distintive."

Jersey Lynne Farms, 61-20 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

Minimun! Minimun! Minumun! Knock it off already! It's spelled "minimum." Got it?

Middle Europe Art Gallery Inc., 61-18 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

What can I say? It's supposed to be "stitch," not "stich."

Deli 2000, 60-52 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

We're gonna make you a sandwich you can't refuse. Among other things, the Godfather hero contains pepperone (s/b pepperoni) and vineger (s/b vinegar). Besides "vineger," the Italian Special has Geona (s/b Genoa) salami.

Flowerama, 59-35 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

The sign-maker couldn't decide whether the word was spelled "candleabra" or "candelabra," so he made it "candlelabra." For the record, it's "candelabra."

Tony's Auto Sound Security, Decatur Street, just northeast of Cypress Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

There are two mistakes on this sign - "amplafier," instead of "amplifier," and "acessories," not "accessories." Superb graphics, though.

Construction site at 287-289 Cooper Street, Brooklyn, NY

Presumably, the contractor is Kamar Mechanical Heating Co.

Colon Auto Driving School, 1532 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

Is the "lowes" price even lower than the lowest price? I wonder.

Food Dimensions Supermarket, 1580 Gates Avenue, Ridgewood, NY

Mr. Peebles was the pet store owner in the Magilla Gorilla cartoons. Pebbles was the name of the Flintstones' child, for whom the cereal is named. See, it pays to watch Saturday morning TV after all.

Superior Market, 40-?? Queens Boulevard, Sunnyside, NY

"Otay!" So said Eddie Murphy's Buckwheat on "Saturday Night Live." And I say "Otay" to otatoes.
