How does this work?
You might remember how much fun we had with the MLPTP's Pony Street Contest! Well, this is the same idea, but instead of street names, we are looking for businesses!

The contest will run until April 15th. All you have to do to enter is post pictures of *real* businesses that match a MLP name.
The pictures must be taken by YOU (so, don't think about googling them and using someone else's pictures).
Preferrably, you will take the picture of the business/store with a pony standing by/on it.
That will be extra proof that you are taking the photo. If you don't get a chance to get a pony by it, we will examine the photo closely.
No cheating here!
The pony you take a picture of by the business sign does not have to match the name of the store. Any pony will do.
Pony friend names are more than welcome too.

There are some rules for pony names. For name that are complex, we will accept only the "basic" part of a name. For example:

Baby Bellaluna -> We will NOT take "Baby Cafe", but we WILL take "Bellaluna's Diner"

Same thing applies to other complex names.

I reserve the right to reject any photo entries if deemed invalid.



There will be 2 opportunities to win:
1. Whoever submits *the most* pictures.
2. People's choice. Everyone will vote on their favorite picture (for people's choice, whoever submits more than one photo must choose only one pic to enter in the voter's drawing).

Please post your entries on this thread :)

Prizes:
FIRST PRIZE : 1 custom metal sign with your choice of words (character limit here) and $10 in ponies
PEOPLE'S CHOICE PRIZE: 1 custom street sign with your choice of words (character limit here) and $5 in ponies

Hope you guys have fun, and post here if you have any questions.

*ponders businessesss in the area*
 
Count me in! I'm gonna hit the town with my daughter looking for something. I've heard that they're is a bakery nearby called Sugar Apple. ;)
 
I loved the street sign contest :D Deffo going to be looking for shops :)
 
Ooh! Back during the street sign contest I was sad because I had the perfect sign only it was a business not a street sign! So I'll get to use it after all! Yay!
 
Does creative spelling count? We have a catering place here called "Nibblez." It's like people can't use S's anymore or something, geez!
 
Lol, I figured as much PT. I've found a couple places through google (and actually ended up behind a suburban advertising their business "braiding twist extensions") but... now I'm thinking I'm going to sit this contest out. My bank account cannot handle the unnecessary gas guzzling lol.

That would be acceptable, as long as the word is the same, if you know what I mean... so... Nibblez would be fine, but something like... Nibblette (because that would clearly be a great business name) wouldn't.
 
:smiley_duck: I just realized the local bakery is called LUCKY CUPCAKE! Is that a two-fer??! :stitch_h4h:
 
I found some local shops that have pony names, but there are a couple that are iffy! For example, I found one called 'Island Cupcake' - would that work for Island Delight, or Cupcake, or neither?

I'll upload my pics as soon as I get them off of my phone!

That would work for Cupcake, for sure!
 
I went a little crazy with pictures!! I got a ton of pictures after wandering around a couple different outdoor shopping spots, so if some of these don't count, that's okay! Some of them are super-close, but not quite, so I figured I would leave it up to the judges to decide. :] And hopefully you get a kick out of them anyway!!!

Turns out the shop is named Island Cupcakes, so I got two Cupcakes to match!

Paradise!! I happened to catch this one on the way out of the parking lot, had to turn around and go back!

I guess the So Soft ponies went into business, because here's Angel's (ANGL) shop!

Crown Books - it's not built yet, but I was too excited to skip it! One of the Walmart bonus ponies is named Crowning Glory, I think that might be the closest name?

Here's a window display with some statuary ... but where's the pony?

Let's look closer...

Oh, hi Cupcake!

Lucky's got his own clothing store, in addition to his cupcake shop? Welcome to Lucky Brand!

(Baby) Ruby's Motodiner!

This might be as close as we get for Flippity Flop, so I figured it was worth a picture!

This one could be for Cinnamon Breeze, almost!

Lily (flutter pony) must have opened a consignment shop with someone named Lilac!

One of my favorite shots - Spike's Fish House!! Spike approves, providing they have a gem-encrusted Rainbow Trout.

Thank you ladies!! :] At first I thought I'd just get one or two pictures, but the more I looked around, I just saw ponies everywhere! I also thought of one that I couldn't get yet, so I will hopefully have that one next week!
 
Awesome pics! Here's my one lonely one for now. Could have had a couple more but roadwork prevented me from parking, & I really didn't want to walk after work today :p

D.J. has her own night club!
