   Ha, I’ve actually driven past a Curl Up & Dye before (lots of punny hair salons out there).

   The first time I encountered a Curl Up and Dye salon was in the movie Earth Girls are Easy. That was a funny film!

   On St. Simon’s Island, Ga. there’s a store called Pane in the Glass.

   Here in Macon, I had to get a wheel replaced on my car after hitting a mean pothole. I found a store called Hubcap and Wheel, and the guy gave me a card with his name on it, and the card identified him as a “Hubcapitolist.”

   Ah, my favorite is here in Simi Valley, California: Indiana Bones and the Temple of Groom (yes a dog’s groomer) - it’s out of business now.

   In Melbourne, FL, there was a Jamacian restuant called ‘Jamacian Me Crazy’.

   I think Curl Up and Dye also appears in The Blues Brothers, where Carrie Fisher is seen reading the manual for a flamethrower while doing her nails.

   As a central New Yorker, I have to give mention to Sherlock Homes real estate in Auburn.

    Haha…I gotta say, I know it was only the second one in the list, but “Just Falafs” made me giggle a lot…

    hey, #48 is in my town! We’re famous!

    And ‘You damn dirty grapes’ is now in my random weird quote repertory due to its shear awesomeness .

    There are a few on Haight Street in SF; Haight to Wash laundromat is my favorite, although Haight Mail is pretty good too.

    A hairdresser’s near my house: “Natural Born Clippers”
    A local pub: The Dewdrop Inn
    That’s the best I have… I like the Marquis de Salade though ^_^

    Brilliant! Unfortunately, a lot of the best ones appear to be going out of business.
