Rolled up to Edmonton this past weekend for a quick visit with a friend. While out on a photowalk, I found this crew working on a “Canada 150” sign outside city hall. It looks as if they have all the pieces to unscramble Edmonton’s biggest anagram.

Historical painted signs are as rare in Phoenix as they are in Calgary, it seems. Even in the older Warehouse District, south of the office towers in downtown Phoenix, things like these are hard to spot. This image captured on my visit there last month.

Just a plain old sign made special by weather-beaten oxidation and sunlight passing through the leaves of a nearby tree. Spotted in Seattle, Washington, in November 2015.

When Montreal was planning its métro system some half a century ago, it decided to go with Parisian-style trains fitted with tires in addition to steel wheels.
Consequently, experts from the RATP, the Parisian public transportation authority, acted as consultants throughout the planning and construction stages.
That cross-Atlantic connection is symbolized in one of the entrances to Square Victoria station, which has authentic Art Nouveau signage as you’d find in the French capital, a gift from the RATP first installed in 1967.
