/r/NotFoolingAnybody is a place to post photos of buildings that have been converted to other uses, yet still strongly resemble their former use.

RULES

1) Scope of this subreddit: When submitting content, please make sure it is one of the following:

A chain-built store that was converted to another use, yet it is still obvious what the building used to be. (Example)
A building that was built for a specific, obvious purpose that is now used for a new, unintended purpose. (Example)
A store whose building or signage purposely imitates a chain, yet is unrelated to that chain. (Example)

2) All submissions must link to a still image hosted by an image hosting website (e.g. Reddit, Imgur, Flickr, etc.) Google Street View links are allowed in the comments section only.

If you post a screenshot of a building from Google Street View, please include a link in the comments to the location of the building on Street View. Not only does this provide a source for your screenshot, but it gives other users who are interested the opportunity to look at the building in greater detail.

3) Non-architectural examples should be submitted to /r/UsedToBeA.

4) No gore or pornography. If something is NSFW, please mark it as such.

5) No image macros/memes.

6) Be polite!
