<p>[QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 210855, member: 2653"]I have an update on this thread ....</p><p>I went back today to the place and checked the establishment underneath ...what I thought to be a cafe turned out to be an antique frame designer shop ! No sign at the door...amazingly I was told it is a very old ( more than a century) frame designers family shop... I raised the question about the strange phenomenon upstairs regarding the painting in an open air museum mode..<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />...They told me the upstairs floor belongs to them as well and they are on the process of renovating it.And regarding the picture , they said they put it there following a deal (or a bet..)with an artist to make him a frame for his painting that he claimed would withstand the elements.. The painting on hardboard has been there for few years I was told as part of the bet or deal if I understood the explanation correctly.. I was also informed they had a sign at the door before it got broke...So mystery is solved I guess...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>TTA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
