Great idea, great execution. One store of Japanese electronics chain Biccamera (think RadioShack in Japan) has one of the coolest facades I have ever seen: A giant hand holding a cell phone whose “buttons” show pedestrians what they can find on each floor when they enter the store.

Blogger Kirai doesn’t say where in Japan this store is located but my guess is it’s Tokyo (where he lives). I will investigate.
