Signs of a City

I believe you can tell the character of a city by its signs. Granby Quebec is a city full of signs. And amazingly enough, they're all in French. Imagine Sunrise Highway, or for you Californians, 405 South near Santa Monica, and you get the feel of this place. A sign every 50 feet, and some of them quite imaginative.

From the little I've seen of this town and its people, I am imagining a townfolk with a great sense of humor, a touch of the absurd, and a love of the tackily theatrical. But more on that in my next post.
