Interesting names of Buildings, Businesses, Churches, etc......
 

As I drive through the city I have seen some interesting names.....
for instance, I saw a barber shop called IN-2-Wishin'....:) and this one church called Rushing Mighty Wind Church of Christ.
Have you seen any?

One of my sorority sisters go to a church called On Fire Ministries. I was kinda tripped out at that.

The Catholic elementary school near my office is called Our Lady of Sorrows. It always makes me wonder if the kids are "sorry" that they have to go there rather than spend the day playing. ;)

This is a little off color, but: There is a company in my town called Advanced Security Systems. I hope they don't use an acronym. :eek:

Curl Up and Dye- beauty salon

:o

there's a salon here called The Hairport. i thought that was cute:D

There is a "church" here called Smoking For Jesus Ministries. What's that all about? :confused:

That's hilarious!

Arlington Child Development Center had a big ole sign on their building that said "AC-DC" - that used to trip me out!

ROTFL I'd rather go to On Fire Ministries. Smoking For Jesus...just makes me think of worshipping with Snoop and listening to "The Chronic" as I walk in.

There is a church in SW Atlanta called The Perfect Church. My grandma's been a member for years..., but the name doesn't sit well with my family.

...really. We have one of those down the street from A&T on Market Street. Must be a franchise :D

I've ssen many, but only can think of few
 

Salons
Nu B Gin Ns
Hair Dare You
He Say She Say
Twist & Shout

Churches
Refreshing Spring
God's Holy Ghost
Hope in the Last Days
Straight Gate
Co-Labourers with Christ

I'll add more when I think of them.

Do they still run the Beautiful Resturant? They always had the slamming smothered pork chops when I was in school!

One of the Winans Brothers pastors a church called, I think, Perfecting Church, but I do think that is a little better. Perfect says you are already there, Perfecting says you are trying to get there.

In Nassau, Bahamas
 

There was this "'Cuz I Need A Liquor Store"...

And somewhere on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, LA, there was this Chinese place called "Takee Outee"...

Haven't seen much craziness in names where I currently live... But it may be a matter of time.

Businesses:
Nappy Nikki's-Home of the Chitlin' Hoagie

Churches (Philly, DE):
Cathedral Of Fresh Fire
Oasis of Refreshing
Holy Ghost Headquarters
Blood Covered Church of Christ
Christlike Pleasant Green Faith Baptist Church
Be Ready Jesus Is Coming Church

:eek: I know one with that, too!

With your location--it might be the same one.

I'd have to verify with my grandma, but to my understanding, The Beautiful has never changed ownership. And get this: I only ate there once as a child. I'm glad you and thousands of others like The Beautiful.

ok

The other day I passed "The Church Where Jesus is Exhalted." I thought Jesus was exhalted at most churches.
I also often drive by "The Church of the Open Door of the Sheep" which is confusing to even say.

Shear Perfection- barbershop

Everytime my husband and I pass that place, we laugh.

What about Wagner's? You know the slogan: You just can't beat Wagner's meat.

I know. It's crass...
