  • STREET SIGN

    Img_0095

    I don’t
    know the story behind this cardboard-and-masking-tape street sign on the corner
    of Scott and Bay Streets in Victoria B.C.

    Perhaps
    someone got fed up with calls to City Hall.

    Maybe
    someone missed an important visit – or pizza delivery – because the person just
    could not find the street.

    Could a
    kid have stolen the street sign as a prank and then felt guilty?

    We did
    have some rather strong winds, unusual for this time of year, a week or so ago.

    Whatever
    the reason for the absence of the original street sign, I think this substitute
    has a charm to it and I give a cheerful nod to the no-nonsense person who went
    to the trouble to put it up.
