Sidwalk Closed

I snapped this picture earlier this afternoon. I think the City Dpartment of Public Works is reacting to the ongoing budget crisis by cutting back on the number of E's used.

(I'd tease crazy4coens and ask if she made it... but that's a private joke with us... typing fingers malfunctions.)

Or maybe Sid has his own walkway that is being repaired?

Michael said...

If you think about it, shouldn't it be "SIDWALK CLOSD"?

dmarks said...

Budget concerns have not forced them to eliminate all of the E's yet.

Only the government would ever need such a sign.

It's not a slow day for blog-trolls. I just now deleted one.

Less letters equals less time paying a guy to make sign. Brilliant!

we got to live in paris for 4 years...the strangest thing was a street with a big pothole and NO YELLOW TAPE....you could tell there was work going on and GUESS WHAT!? They trusted you not to FALL IN~!
They had such steep stairs to restaurant bathrooms that I told friends when I came back up to the table one night "If this were LA, there'd be a table with a lawyer at the bottom signing you up in case you tripped!"

This reminded me of that stuff....humor me :-)
