Backlog 2: Signs Signs Signs

Toronto is quite a big city. In fact it might even be the new Cybertron.



And of course, like all good transformers, it can transform back again so as not to raise the suspicion of those American tourists I mentioned earlier...



Nevertheless, what makes a city interesting are the small signs.

Advertising nano-parks:



or some rather scandalous offers:



oops, I meant the other side of it...



Toronto hides some historical signs as well. At Club Monaco's flag-ship store, the interesting bit is not the building but what the building use to be.





'The Department of Household Science'

I know "Home Economics" is somewhat acceptable as a high school/leaving cert. course, but as a university-level department? Honorary Chair of Sucking Equipment?!

Also, if you look at the carvings above the entrances you can see the changing face of religion:



And while some of these signs are lost, others are not. Here we see a street-person joyous about his new found treasure, a fallen street-post sign!



And finally, about those signs. They can be small yet interesting; this little sticky-note that was lying lost on the street seems to have been designed for 'FOUND' magazine:



...life, a collection of random binders.
