Another sign for another day… and this doesn’t make that much sense – follow the arrow and park there, not here. The weathered paint looks good, anyway.

That sign is older than you are

At the Navy Yard… paint on plywood. I like the old timey look, but my feeling is, if you can’t totally read the sign, you can decide whether to follow what it says, or not.
Shipping AND Receiving

Earlier this week, a professional sign painter was making art. Here, an amateur paints a sign on a wall. It’s charming because it’s functional and totally without pretention. The N’s appear to be about to stage a getaway.

This charming lettering is painted on a wall next to the ramp to the boardwalk at Coney Island. What is it about the salt air that makes food and drink taste ten times better than they would away from the sun and sand? (Try a Nathan’s hot dog at a mall and you’ll see my point.)

Drop your dented auto off in the morning, and if you’re lucky, when you pick it up, it will look like the sleek deco-mobile on the sign.
First you Stop & then you Save

Let’s start by defining “7 days”… this parking lot hasn’t had a full-time business attached to it in a while.

The super fun Superfund

It’s official; the Gowanus Canal was given Superfund status earlier this week.
Bloomberg’s not happy about it, nor are the real estate developers, who worry about the stigma, though it’s never been a secret that the canal is toxic and leaching into the soil. Others are happy; now the clean-up can begin. Yeah!
The sock problem solved

You can’t question the sincerity of a handpainted sign. The next panel, showing what happens next, would not be pretty, though – obviously the female feet with perfect socks would repel the advances of the man with toes and heel sticking out. It looks like he’s about to clumsily tap on her foot. Her response is going to be, “Whatsa matta wichu, bud! I prefer a man wearing quality cotton-rich socks!”
