Signs of the city: A series

Neighbors, businesses communicate via anonymous missives

This is Part I of a series

Even if this is the age of e-mail and blogs, sometimes an old-fashioned pen or marker is still the best way to make a (fine) point.
All around Hoboken, neighbors have used handwritten signs to scold each other over sloppy dog-do, ask parking officers not to ticket them (rarely works), spread the word about lost or found items, pout, joke, or cheer someone up.
Some of these signs are funny, some are heartfelt, and some are just confusing in their language.

_____________
Some of the signs involve parking, some complain about doggie do.
____________
This week’s installment focuses on the angrier signs – in your neighbors’ own words. Watch for future installments about pets, parking, and other subjects.
Want to take a break from the politics and crime? Stay tuned for a continuation of this series!
