Out for exercise 06

 I continued walking passed the crewcut trees. This strange looking building is a cake shop. They sell a huge variety of cheap cakes. For some reason this shop is very popular, but other shops in the same chain do much less business. During the Christmas/New Year holidays this place does so much business that they hire two rent-a-cops to direct traffic. Oh, yes, I forgot. The cake is not very good.
 The name on the sign board says 'Peace Green' or maybe 'Pea Green'. They are both the same when written in katakana. It made me wonder what kind of place it is. However, a quick look at the smaller print on the sign told me - it is a bar.
This fence keeps people from falling onto the road that passes through a tunnel beneath this hill. The road is the main road to the north from the built up area around the last station on the subway line, Izumi Chuo. I have only been through the tunnel a few times but having the opening above sure is nice. It gives light and lets a lot of the exhaust gases escape.
