Pet Bird Parking

image 2531

This is the same sign as depicted in the Lionel Richie Paste-ups article. I pass it every day walking to the to go to , and marvel at how quickly it changes, is , replaced, cleaned, tagged, replaced, painted, etc. It looks different almost every day.

Today, when I passed, I noticed that it has been decorated by the increasingly infamous , who is apparently experimenting with smaller and a -only approach. Hmm. I sort of liked the bird images better; perhaps they'll be popping up again sometime soon.

I too hope this doesn't signal the end of the image era for the Pet Bird Maker.
Good to see these in quadruplicate, though!
At owner's expense, indeed!

at owner's expense... heh. im always fascinated by the stubbornness of some people re: graffiti. thike the building with this sign, for example. they replace it every time it gets hit. though their replacements have slowed lately (its getting hit alot?) the ystill do it, or go through apparently tedious measures to clean the sign and remove the paint/stickers/ink.

you think that after a while, theyd get the idea that their plan isnt working well and is costing them alot of money. just for a generic .

im not sure i have the perfect solution to appease all concerned parties, but youd think theyd think of a better alternative. a better-protected sign, a higher up sign, etc.

or maybe they could just get or to do the actual sign for them... you know, make it arty. then i bet they wouldnt have to replace it as much.

hmm.

and there is always

jeeff: 10th Jun 2005 - 17:59 GMT

i wonder if anyone's invented anti-parking paint. the cars slide right outta the spot.

Peter: oh man, now ##that## would be something!

Peter: 10th Jun 2005 - 18:03 GMT

...though im sure conventional paint filled with metal and glass shards would probably make idea , but it might be a bit of a public liability... heh.
