You Have Reached Your Destination

I don't think so Navi.
This is not Newcastle and this is not a hostel. In fact, this vacant block is 50km out of the way and I need to pee really badly.
So I bought the navigation system (GPS) that was designed for little fingers. And if anyone has little fingers, I do. So I'd like to blame the navi, but I guess I have to admit that my finger aligned slightly wrongly and I ended up on the right street name but in Maitland not Newcastle. I really should have trusted my instinct (and more obviously the signage) that was telling me Newcastle was in THAT direction, not GPS direction.
But in the spirit of attempting not to be angry - and to therefore not breed more bile (the gallstone issue) I tried to do the only thing a person in critical desperation can do, turn a negative into a positive!
I searched for photographs...
Maitland, home of the broken signage on still operational fast food chains.
Maitland, home of the art deco Literary Institute. Doesn't appear open for study but made me think of my friend Bec Giggs. This one's for you.
The work of someone who clearly attended the Literary Institute, who feels the neccessity to point out the noun that pairs with this object. It sits opposite the institute, duh!
Another wonderful state of Maitland affairs. It seems to be forming a theme.
Maybe people are running about trashing this place. Or maybe there are strong winds?
As I'm speeding the hell out of Maitland, I decided to do a bit of drive by shooting when i saw this god-awful marketing ploy. They are a mortgage business that understands how hideous will get you noticed! The people of Maitland however have more aesthetic issues to address first.
Note
Sorry Maitland, but this was just all the stuff I found of photographic interest. (I have been known to be comment-attacked by people less humoured than myself!)
