Upper-ish East Side
Park Slope, Brooklyn. Who or what is Thomas?
I'm fascinated by Not Fooling Anybody, a collection of poorly executed conversions from failed archetypically-architected businesses to (usually) low-rent restaurants. I especially like this Planet Hollywood-turned-pizzeria. (This used to say "-turned-no-name-pizzeria," but I was corrected.)

Different Thomas, unless you can explain why they'd sell California maps in Brooklyn.

In Chicago, Gino's East is not "no-name"!!!

Maybe Thomas the Tank Engine?

Hey, that's Mr. Martinez at the liquor store on my block! I think Thomas is a brand of ice they sell, but I could be wrong about that.
I'm kind of surprised you didn't take one of the graffiti outside.

I was impressed by Not Fooling Anybody - who knew there were still so many mom-and-pop businesses out there, some actually replacing big chains?Some of them are probably regional chains - They are all funny.
