Pictured is a sign for the restaurant `Zum Weissen Rauchfangkehrer`, The White Chimney Sweep, located in Vienna, Austria. An interesting story surrounds the naming of the restaurant. A chimney sweep who was a ladies man fell in love with a woman who worked in the bakery next door. The normally soot covered tradesman was turned white by flour while making his amorous advances. After his stormy flings with the beautiful baker, he would quench his thirst in the neighboring inn. The inn was christened `The White Chimney Sweep` because he was found there so often.
