# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Chicha Poster: Putting the fluorescents on white kills the glow, destroys the night legibility the style was designed around, and simply looks cheap.
# - South Asian Truck Art: Applying the pattern as evenly repeating wallpaper loses the framed compartments that carry meaning, and the owner's story stops being readable.
