Protection.

I spotted this sign today in a local McDonalds. Whatever its intent I'm sure the night shift workers are glad for anything that makes cops visit more often, as such visits will deter robberies.

I'm hoping to post here on a more regular schedule during 2010, but don't hold me to it. I've been wrong before.

Oops.

This sign currently visible on the billboard at 22nd Street and 3rd Avenue has a grammar error. An apostrophe followed by an s indicates possession, not plurality. Plurality is indicated by just adding s. Taxis is the correct plural of taxi, while taxi's means something that belongs to a taxi, such as in the sentence "The taxi's front window was cracked." If I were paying a bunch of money for a sign I would want whoever designed it to know their grammar.

A Winning Hand.

As someone who plays poker online I quite like this sign for Anderson's Transmission with its quad Aces theme. After all there are few better hands in many types of poker than quad Aces. Yellow on the other hand isn't a colour I associate with poker.

Decay.

An abandoned and boarded up house on 22nd Street that is currently being overrun by trees planted in front.



Several lots over this car sits abandoned in an empty lot. Presumably it was abandoned by the owners there, as the police would likely have removed it if it was a stolen vehicle.

Remembrance.

This is the cenotaph in front of Saskatoon City Hall, commemorating those Saskatoon residents who have died in military service.

Bright Red.

No, the price of gas hasn't taken a huge leap in Saskatoon. This sign, located at the corner of Broadway Avenue and 8th Street, was turned on this week in advance of a new gas station opening. The several decades old Shell station located on this corner was knocked down earlier this year to be replaced by a completely brand new Shell.

Back In Action.

Following up on a previous post here's the front of Esteem For The Home, which is now open again. As you can see they've once again responded humourously.
