Russian Mystery



Submitted by Ken Mankoff, taken in St. Petersburg. I didn't know what this sign is for. I guessed it was for a bank called Liviz. I got the name right, got the business wrong. I put Liviz into Google and discovered that LIVIZ is a major alcohol producer. Almost like a bank.

What's the "24 hours" part of the sign? I know enough Russian to know that chas/chasa means hours (or time or watch) but what is "24 hours" doing on a booze sign? Or does Liviz have another meaning here?
