festering looseness

I keep seeing loose signage, and I can't stand it anymore.

Here are a few instances from my daily sphere of operation:

  • A note on the bus about operation on "Martin Luther King Day Jr." I was wondering if that was a subsidiary or a competitor to the 7DayJr. (convenience store)
  • Another note on the bus about not bringing your "bike-cycle"
    • This to me seems like a modern marvel. A bicycle with cycling bicycles... perhaps?
  • A note on a door in a building :
"Don't use this door anymore

Until Further Notice "
      • untight
  • "Machine is Broke"
    • wow.
Crank it, sign poster.

For serious, VDOT?


No spellcheck on the old Sign-o-Matic? Come on, these signs have a cumulative vocabulary of about 30 words--is it that hard to spell them correctly?

Enough. With. The. Signs.


These images are from 7100/the Fairfax County Parkway in Virginia last weekend. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure this kind of highway advertising is illegal, and for obvious reasons. It looks like shit. Ladybird Johnson is rolling over in her grave [she was a central figure in the highway beautification movement in the 1960s].

I only regret I can't attend town-hall meetings in Virginia to call these idiots out on their wasteful self-importance.
