A metal gate on Shattuck

On Shattuck Ave. between Virginia and Lincoln St. are a bunch of shops with glass displays lined up next to each other, hoping to catch the eyes of passersby. However, in between two restaurants was this gated door that didn't look like a typical metal gate door you would find at Home Depot.

It looks like it was originally a regular metal gate with vertical bars running from the top to the bottom and then a steel or aluminum sheet was cut into strips and woven through the bars to prevent people from seeing what's going on behind the door... hm. Or maybe it was just added to keep the wind and rain out. Either way, I found the weaving a cool alternative as opposed to using a flat, solid metal door.
