Elvis is in the building

So today was day two of a short but nice unexpected time off work. Mel went shopping so I went over to visit my Mom, and shovel her walks, ( okay this is where you all tell me what a considerate son I am). Then on the way home I had planned to stop in at the mall to get a shot for today, which I almost forgot to do.
So this is inside Northgate Mall which is across the street from my Mom's place. It has ben there since I can remember. It opened in 1965 when I was only a couple of years old.
Along with the stores there are some businesses that have set up shop in the middle of the mall. As you can see this one sells photographs and different types of prints and yes there was the King himself as large as life.
So with the weekend here it is time to relax for a couple of days. Have a great weekend everyone
Oh I just realised that for those not following this particular challenge the word was Sales or Shops and I think I got both in on this shot
Elvis is still alive. Have a good weekend!

You are a wonderful son! You nailed todays word.
January 12th, 2013  
You are a very considerate son! Def the double get with sales and shops!
January 12th, 2013  
Cool shot, bkb. I used to be a big Elvis fan.
January 12th, 2013  
Plus it was recently Elvis' birthday!
January 12th, 2013  
Shopping malls have so many photo ops. Nice capture
January 12th, 2013  
Nice merchandise of the King, and yes you are a considerate son.
January 12th, 2013  
Isn't it amazing that the King can still can make a scene...even if it is just a photo of himself! Love it!
January 12th, 2013  
What a considerate son you are! It would have been Elvis's 78th birthday on the 8th.
January 12th, 2013  
Wonderful capture of a lot of Elvis! Your mom will be so pleased to have her walks shoveled. Have a good weekend.
January 12th, 2013  
Love the Elvis sighting. Great shot. I thought I was following you also. I'm not sure what happened...but we're good now.
January 12th, 2013  
I'll repeat the sentiment... you're a wonderful son!! I hope my boy comes home and shovels my driveway some day!! Nice shot for your challenge. I wonder how many Elvis canvases they sell in a day???
January 12th, 2013  
You have gotta love Elvis. I hope my sons grow up to be as sweet as you.
January 12th, 2013  
you are a nice son! i haven't been to that mall in ages! have a great weekend!
January 12th, 2013  
The King still sells, I see! Nice shot. Have a nice weekend.
January 12th, 2013  
Just heard on the radio today ..the announcer said that a lot of people believe Elvis is still alive..what is your take on that? you did well with Sales and Shop..afterall the shop is there to make sales. great picture of Elvis. I also see Elvis pictures in stores in our malls.
January 12th, 2013  
Hehe The King Lives!! :) Great capture! :) Love the composition!
January 12th, 2013  
I agree... Very considerate! Great shot!
January 12th, 2013  
Very nice photo.
January 12th, 2013  
Was Elvis serving behind the counter? Great shot for the challenge.
January 12th, 2013  
it was his birthday a few days ago. nice
January 12th, 2013  
cool shot, I always love seeing mall shots, each mall seems to be a little different and it is neat to see!
January 12th, 2013  
haha! I like your title! Perfect for this picture...and you are a wonderful son!
January 12th, 2013  
It's interesting to me that this shot could pass for any number of malls in the US too- right down to the Rolling Stones and Elvis souvenirs. Good shot.
January 12th, 2013  
What a wonderful son you are, Brian! Great challenge shot too. Guess that was your reward.
January 12th, 2013  
I bet you mum appreciated you clearing her paths; nice shot as a bonus too:0)
January 12th, 2013  
Nice shot of this shopping mall, and well done on looking after your mum!
January 12th, 2013  
fun capture!
January 12th, 2013  
Clever caption to fit the photo. Good one!
January 12th, 2013  
Great capture.
January 12th, 2013  
Nice view and nice capture of this shop
January 12th, 2013  
Nice shot. How strange - we have very similar stalls in our malls. Some of them are very tacky and have pictures of Man. Utd. players for sale.
January 13th, 2013  
@copperheadglass Thanks Meredith and who doesn't love Elvis
January 13th, 2013  
@laurentye You most likely would not even recognize it. Many changes including the upper floor is now mainly medical offices etc

January 14th, 2013  
very nice shot, brian. the malls are optimizing their space by leasing portions to small merchants with lots of merchandise.

p.s.: what a good son you are!
January 15th, 2013  
@summerfield They are certainly doing that although this mall is really having a tough go of it.
