If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
Or climb on your high-wheel bicycle and hie yourself thither! Take care, lest your waxed moustache catch flame! Be wary of the ladies, for they may get the vapors and faint from excitement!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the super-old school fonts on that sign. I bet it was printed at least 60 years ago and there's boxes of 'em in some dank closet in City Hall.
ReplyDelete"Out of Service. In Case of Fire, You're FUCKED!!"
ReplyDeleteAdam I was thinking the same thing! The date on the lower left says 1970, but those fonts and verbiage are straight outta the 1940's!
ReplyDeleteThe reference to '911' means it was printed sometime since 1968, when the number '911' was selected as the nationwide emergency number.
ReplyDeleteOh, sure, you may WANT to report a fire .. but do you really NEED to? :-p
