Getreidegasse, also known as Grain Lane, is a beautiful street in Salzburg, Austria which dates back to Roman times. These wrought iron guild signs hang above each shop, illustrating the business of the shop; an old tradition that was used in the days when most people were illiterate. This sign was once for a seamstress. When I visited the shop was being inhabited by the clothing store Zara.

That's cool that the modern store just kept the sign. Thanks for the history and the interesting puzzle.

I remember this puzzle and I enjoyed it as much this time as I did before.

I used EL to solve the green. Not sure it really matters which edge you use, but I used R11.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

I love puzzles like this. Nicely designed, Carol. Really fun solve, and cool story.

Thanks for the link, Kristen.

Thanks Teresa! You know the funny thing is, I was going to put a link to a picture of the street but I kind of remembered that Kristen posted a link the first time I published this puzzle. So I figured I'd wait and see and yep, we have Kristen to thank for a photo of this beautiful street.
