Hof Brau sign

Hof Brau sign
Originally uploaded by Inkyhack.

This is the sign to Noah's Hof Brau in downtown Modesto. Noah's Hof Brau used to be a German restaurant until it was purchased by a Chinese family about 20 years ago. They kept the name but radically changed the menu. The joke in Modesto is "Noah's Hof Brau has the best German food in the valley." I tried to get an overall shot of the front of the restaurant to show that it really does have a Hof-Brau feel to it (dark roof with wooden tiles) but a city tree is overgrowing in front of it, blocking most of the view.
