Odd Business

The weird thing in this shot is not the Odd Fellows building, but the Payday Loan business. The average rate is 400% a year. 1000% is not unheard of.

They are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week on a part of town I won't wear my iPod (in part so I can hear if anyone is coming up behind me). I've walked by here and seen lines out the door.

Again, a tax on the mathmatically challenged (whom, ironically, are very good a multiplying).
