Exit Storehouse
FOUND by Anne Dmytriw
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I found this photo in a junk shop that is home to all sorts of the strangest things. This photo caught my eye and I just had to keep it.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
GET THE FUCK OUT!
So THAT'S where all the exits are.... I've been stuck in here for hours!
This is a nice find indeed. Now we all can find our way out
They went thatta way <--->
The detectives were relieved to finally find the spoils from the "Phantom Exit Snatcher" who wreaked havoc on local movie theaters. *Curses Foiled Again!*
Obviously the library of a fanatic intent on refuting Sartre.
I love this. It's like modern art.
pent his formative years working in the warehouse, but finally made the leap into literary greatness, penning many famous works, including the ironically titled "No Ex
Now THAT'S a specialty store
...and
Sarte's inspiration
@ Grab Bag and Farmer and JustJoan ... I'm heading out the door. You folks took all my best lines. Now, where IS the door? How do I get outta here anyway??
Lissen. Do you have any Exit signs? Rmmmmp, Oh excuse me, I had sousage for breckfast. It will smell better in a moment. I would like that exit sign. No, that one right over there. No, no, it's right behind that exit sign and a little to the left. Do you see it? Nevermind, I'll take that one right there laying down on the third shelf. Oh Dear. This one says Taxi on it. It hard to get good help without a passing CRCT grade isn't it?
Grab bag in Chi Town, That's just about the funniest comment I've ever read - thank you for the literary allusion!!
"This photo caught my eye and I just had to keep it."
Does 'find' and 'steal' mean the same thing?
Welcome to the Escape Route Department. You want a way out? We've got it.
best comments....EVER
So this is where exit signs go to die...
Junk shop that's home to the strangest things? Toronto? Has to be Active Surplus on Queen St.
sweet! looks like a scene you would find at Triple M Demolition in Southern Ontario! I know they have a pile of street signs (I bought a construction one). They have old TTC cars FILLED to the brim with junk (organized junk, at that). so much fun!
@ Librarian - You forgot
"Hell is other people('s)[exit signs]"
There is a store like that in my town called Cohen's. They have all kinds of crazy stuff. It's really fun to browse in there.
Someone obviously believes strongly in "Exit Only."
These exit signs would be more appreciated if they were found over door ways somewhere. How many people can't find their way out because these signs aren't there???
exit, exit exit... the only thing that is missing is the enter, enter enter signs...exit and enter are a great combination. Without one, you can't have the other.
I love this photo!!!
It makes me think of the play called "No Exit."
I never saw the insides of an EXIT sign before, and before this I never even wondered about what EXIT signs looked like on the inside. It makes me wonder about what other things I've never wondered about.
Good point, Exit Only.
"EXITS-R-US"
"So come on down and we'll show you the door"
"THE EXIT DEPOT"
"Which door did you come in? We'd like to help you out!"
There was only one place in Toronto to get really good exit signs—the "Exit Only" shop. Ironically, the sign out front said "Enter." That was clearly false marketing, and the shop owner was sued.
This picture immediately reminded me of some rainy stop sign pictures I've seen. They're pretty cool.

Reminds me of the movie "No Way Out"....
Picture taken after the great "Exit Riot" of 1984.
GET OUT!!!!!
Just step out the back, Jack...
Hell, these exits are ubiquitous!
The picture reminded me of the place where I work -- they have fire drills when all the ushers have to shout 'THAT WAY OUT!' and point to the exits. Sounds like a veritable pandemonium.
And in Stravinsky's 'Rake's Progress' (words by W H Auden, brilliant) the Devil tells Tom Rakewell he has to kill himself: 'Make no excuse, your exit choose' -- and hands him a briefcase labelled 'EXITS' containing knife, noose, poison, gun.
"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave..."

hello? is anybody in there?
Ah, obviously an exitstentialist.
Where exit signs go to die
Ian, I heart you.
head for the exit, sick in tired, I HEART IAN!
Obviously this is the work of whatever jack ass steals all the locks off the stall doors in the ladies room.
Next shelf over is nothing but locks.
