It’s always a pleasure finding a nicely-hand-lettered sign in this day and age.

Hand-drawn sign shows floral bouquets and reads: PERENNIAL PLANT SALE SAT. MAY 14, 2005... herbs, irises, hostas, gardening gifts, and more!’

Sign reads ‘starting from $1’ in Helvetica, save for the dollar sign

Streetcars ignore these signs, you know. (Even in the Beach, currently being destroyed to “improve” the streetcar experience.)
