Giant Glowing Condom in Mirvish Village?

Posted by Tanja / December 10, 2006

20061210-dirtychicken.jpgAlright, so it isn't supposed to be a condom, but with its glowing tubular shape and cock-- err, chicken 'topping the tree', you can hardly blame me for interpreting a little on the naughty side with this one.

It's a bizarre sight for the corner of Bloor Street West & Markham Street, a quiet Annex crossroad usually dominated by the hypnotic light show of ye old Honest Ed's.

So who's this bright new competition on the block?

The sign belongs to a new Korean restaurant now open in the ex-McDonald's establishment on the corner.

You may remember the previous incarnation: Sunny Dragon.

Going to have to try this place out when there aren't a bunch of teenage girls standing in front of the doorway delivering dirty looks. Hmm...

Magnificent. Maybe when they're done with it they can sell this thing to the Condom Shack.

I love the idea of a rooster-shaped reservoir tip.

It's not a bizarre sight, as it is in Korea Town, and the new restaurant is... Korean!
The east-west border between Korea Town and The Annex on Bloor Street has been slowly blurring over the years, and has already made it east of Bathurst with the replacement of Blur Bar on Bloor.

But wait...Blur Bar was replaced by a Korean BBQ, but it has been replaced by another Bar I believe. Something with a real imaginative name like "The Beer House" or something like that...

The Beer Station is what its called. I haven't been in yet but it looks ok.

Eric, the Korean factor isn't what's weird, of course... it's the 'sign'!

FYI these signs are common in Korea--that's why its not weird. My friends are over there teaching now, here is a shot from their first few days there:

The Condom Shack will definitely have to place an order then!
