In which The Jane Austen Watch checks in with The Gay Recluse.

So we’re always hassling our correspondents to submit more material and believe it or not, sometimes it works! Today, for example, The Jane Austen Watch filed this report from her beat in Queens:

I took some pictures of the tiles at this diner I was at yesterday — they’re just pretty cool to look at.

Hmm, we’re intrigued! Let’s check ’em out…

Whoas…gold tiles?! Tiny, too. Definitely pretty cool.

Nice!

Monochromatic!

Thanks for that report, JAW, and you were so right: those tiles are seriously pretty cool. Naturally, we’ll look forward to your next dispatch, hint hint.
