Ice Cream Parlor that is no More

This ice cream parlor in Gueliz has been closed ever since we have lived in Marrakech.
It looks like the sort of place I would have gone too often.
There is something very traditional about the color scheme.



I am also a sucker for handpainted signs on shops.
The things that were once in offer here include ice cream cake and napoleons.
It also says it was a salon du the.
What more could one ask for?

Information

This is a sign for a parking lot in Place Djemma ElFna where you used to be able to park the items in the picture. It was also used to store all the food carts that are pulled out into the square at night.
Right now it is a large hole in the ground so I'm not sure where the carts are being kept.



This is the side of a truck delivering bottled water.
Just think how carefree and wonderful I will be if I drink their brand.



These are the items you are not allowed to bring into the mellah fruit and vegetable market.
Hand-painted signs are quirky and wonderful.



I have a huge collection of pictures of chicken signs from all over southern Morocco. Some of them appeared in our old blog.
I really think they would make a super poster. "Chickens of Morocco" - sort of like "Doors of Florence" etc. I am a complete sucker for chickens in real life and in art.
One day I will have a farm.
