One of my favourite scenes in literature is from Ray Bradbury's
Something Wicked This Way Comes. On his way out to meet his destiny with Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show, town barber Mr. Crosetti runs into the novel's heroes, 12 year-olds Jim Nightshade and Jim Halloway. The two boys ask him not to switch off the barber's pole because they don't want to know where the spinning red and blue stripes start and end.
Do barber's poles still spin? I captured this image in Kleinburg, Ontario. The Barber Shop was closed for the day, so I have no idea whether this one does.
