Great sign. Looks like the Deep Cove area of North Vancouver. Lived there for a few years and this makes me very nostalgic.

Man, this is why I want to move to Canada...you'd never see that sign here in Newark, NJ.

It's all thanks to one man. Cameron Stewart, whose offical title is "District Signmaker", has been doing this for four years.

blurbs on him:

"Dog Guardians" sounds like a council of super-powered humane society agents.

I think it was issue #37 of Dog Guaradians where Rowlf-X (the one with the deathray collar) was killed saving The Pound from the evil minions of Attac-Cat.

It's a collector's edition.

Musashi (/m2) Don't give up hope for Newark. NYC Parks Dept
uses "Don't even think of parking here" signs, and humorous
dog owner Daniel Pinkwater lives nearby, in Hoboken.

Reminds me of a sign I saw on a store in Kitsilano a while ago that said NO DOGS OR PETS.

I assumed it was intended for people and literate stray canines.

That's Deep Cove all right!

I used to live there as well, right on the corner of Gallant and Panorama. We had a wonderful view of the cove.

That sign is fairly new, as it didn't exist when I moved away in 2001. I have a dentist appointment there tomoorw, I'll have to check it out. =)

Huh, I just pedalled down the block to take this picture:

That's Issaquah, WA. Wonder if they asked Mr. Stewart for permission...
