Irony

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 18 February 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Now I'm going around, looking at various signs in different places. This week, most of these will be from the recent archives. Found this one sign along the back streets of New Orleans.

Definitely ironic. But thankfully things are turning around. Although some may argue its pace.

It's interesting when you can find irony in signs.

I love signs like this, we just have a sign with a T shape on to identify no through roads. We've got a old photograph of my brother by a sign that says " Dead Children Slow" ! it's aim was to point out that there were children playing and drivers should drive slowly! lol looking forward to more VF :)

Better a dead end street than a dead end job :-)
I like this one, it's thought-provoking.

You've really hit the nail on the head with this one VF. It speaks differently to so many but touches them definitively. Perfect.

Thanks everybody for commenting on this one. I've been out most of today and haven't been around a computer all day to respond or make the rounds of visiting your sites. Just be sure to remember that I appreciate all of you so very much! --VF.
