Lost In Translation
Today’s photo is of the parking lot side of the Red Apple Chinese restaurant on 2nd Ave., next to the Post Office. I have no clue what the characters say, if anything. Maybe it’s the name of the restaurant. Dunno. I can’t just copy and paste it into Google Translate, so I’m a little lost. If anyone knows, please leave a comment or email me. Thank ya kindly.

Rumours Lounge

This Rumours Restaurant & Lounge building always intrigues me… it has lots of lighted signs to look at (click here for more photos I’ve taken of Rumours). I don’t think I’d ever noticed this little sign on the side of the building before, but I liked the contrast with the black of the building and More >

I wanted to buy a tree the other day, so I went to Yarnell Grower’s Outlet on 1st to get it. I didn’t really expect anyone in town to have this particular tree, but they had not one, but four. It was rather awesome. I didn’t take my camera into the nursery itself (I wasn’t More >

I took this photo of a nifty old Ford Chevy (thanks for the correction, Mel!) truck sitting outside of the Fey Asian Chinese restaurant last month, and completely forgot it existed. I was happy to find it, since I haven’t been out to take photos in almost two weeks, so I’m having to scrounge to More >

I’ve posted photos of Rumours Restaurant & Lounge on 3rd Ave. before, but I was in the area a couple of nights ago, so I’m doing it again. I love the lighted signs on this place.

This white bench sits outside Rumours Lounge on 3rd Ave. I liked the contrast of it against the black wall. I would like it be duly noted I have managed to go almost a week without posting a flower photo. It hasn’t been easy on my part, and I will likely crumble and post one More >
The Old Stayton Feed Building Has An Oopsie

In an effort to post something not involving flowers, I went out to take photos yesterday. Needless to say, most of what I shot was of flowers, but I did manage to sneak in a few other things. Not much, though. This buildings on E. Water St. has seen better days. It used to have More >
Library, Southwest Side
about 5 months ago - No comments
I took this shot of the Stayton Public Library a few weeks ago, so the trees have probably filled in more since then. I haven’t been able to go out and take photos in the last handful of days, so I’m having to reach back into my photo archives a bit.
Late Afternoon At The A&W
about 8 months ago - 3 comments
The sun created some nifty shadows in the parking lot at the A&W Restaurant on Washington St. yesterday. The pavement was kind of frosty due to the cold, moist air, which also made for an interesting texture on the ground. Note: I changed the permalink structure on the blog. I don’t think it will break More >
Windows & Doors & A Tree & Leaves

This building lives on the corner of 3rd Ave. and E. Florence St. This is a side view of… well, read the title. The building isn’t really this bright blue… I played with the saturation and kind of went overboard. But it’s definitely blue. If I have my buildings straight, I posted a photo of More >
Autumn At The Old Garage

I love this old building. I’ve posted photos of it before (and here and here), but this is the first time I’ve done it with autumn-colored trees, so that makes it completely different. In related news, I’ve created a video slideshow of some of my autumn foliage photos. View it below: The leaves around town More >

You might want to try http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt for translating. It doesn’t translate images, but you can put in “Red Apple” and see if it matches. (I tried it and only the first character matched)

Thanks, Mike. I hadn’t thought to try it that way. Good thing other folks are smarter than I am.
I put some words in – ‘red apple restaurant lounge’ but I’m having trouble figuring out if any of them match.

Hi there. Chinese reader here to help out!
1st character: hong2, “red” (in simplified script)
2nd character: ping2, the first character of the word ping2 guo3, which means “apple” (in traditional script)
3rd & 4th characters: jiu3 jia1, “restaurant”, which is written the same way in both scripts.
So basically we have “Red Apple Restaurant” in mismatched characters.

Anon, thank you! Your translation is much appreciated. I love the internet.

Hi, glad you got you answer regarding the translation of the Red Apple Restaurant. Just out of curiosity, did you try asking the people who own the Red Apple restaurant? I notice the comments here are about a year old. I’m not sure how long the present owners have owned the Red Apple. If you haven’t eaten at the Red Apple please do so! I do not like Chinese food but I have to say I LOVE the food at the Red Apple! I’m amazed they are not packed all the time. All the food is freshly prepared at the restaurant (my favorite are the spring rolls) and fantastic. The owners are Su and Susie. They are great people. If you’ve never eaten there do yourself a favor.
