This photo was taken through the outside window of the old restaurant, Zanzibar, on State Street. That cool wallpaper is gone now and Sava's is the new name. There's a million ways to photograph the State Theatre sign. I thought this one was pretty unique. The only thing done to the image is a little lightening of the snake wallpaper.
