»On signs and photographs

Reading the Evil Signtist's summary of the "Fell is Hella" sign phenomenon, I clicked through some of the links on the site and found Pittsburgh Signs, a site which sentimentally evokes Pittsburgh through signs and decorative arts photos. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote about the project three years ago.

I was looking through flickr, and a newish feature on the site shows me the comments made on my photostream. I saw that someone had commented on a sign that I particularly liked, and started looking through her photographs. A few pictures further, I saw a giddy snapshot of a friend I haven't seen in years: I last bumped into him, part-way through his world travels, on a bench at Zeitgeist. The world may not be small, but it is only a few clicks from one side to the next.
