The quotation marks denote literalism - what they mean is that it is, in fact, the last club you'll ever see. You'll be forced to stare at their name until it becomes legible, which will never happen. Unless, of course, it really is called LaBdte, in which case that's a stupid name.
And to think, I felt silly b/c I couldn't make out the letters either! It looks like LaBdte although I suppose it was meant to be LaBare. If that was the case, then why didn't they just use letters that were actually readable...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I can't tell, either. Is it "LaBare?"
Actually they took the unnecessary quotations a little too seriously. It was only open for a month or two!

and what's with the shadowing behind the letters changing directions, like, 3 times.
Excellent use of the word penultimate.
By the way, I think it's supposed to say "La Bolte." I don't know what this means.
Davey, I'm not sure I see what you're talking about.
Hahaha my friends and I used to joke about going to "LaBare," but unfortunately, it closed down before we made it.
