It’s missing the tumbleweed rolling by.
Keyes(sic) is to Audi as
Checkmate is to BMW?
Having lived near the Keys dealerships (mostly San Fernando Valley, CA), that’s a trashcan for both cigs and paper/etc.
Inside, energetically old-school approach.
I think it’s an improvised mortar.
Not being manned at the moment.
It’s a butt can. And I can just imagine 3 or 4 salesmen standing around it ignoring the guy walking the lot and looking in the windows for some idea of price.
That’s a picture of the new Audi showroom on Van Nuys Blvd taken right after it was built and before it was open for business. Note the construction dust everywhere.
Audi cars don’t have keys anymore?
It’s the latest concept from Audi for dealerships. It’s supposed to give the impression of an airport terminal inside I think. looks pretty enough, but the ouside looks as dreary as a german comedy.
“Lighting Feature”
or “Lighting Fixture”?
It does look like the Frankfort airport. Quite possibly the ugliest airport on earth!
For those who may not know….
In California, it’s illegal to smoke indoors in any place of business or public accommodation, or within a certain distance of the entrance (15′?).
The architect probably forgot about that when designing this minimalist Bauhaus edifice. Then management realized “Whoops! We forgot to provide a cigarette butt can for our smoker employees”.
robert, is that keys in van nuys? wtf wen did they close?
The Keyes web site makes no mention of the dealership closing.
