At first I thought they’d have trouble finding a good artist to take the commission but then I realized they could actually put that Ronaldo statue to good use
On the left: a bronze head that was supposed to look like Cristiano Ronaldo but does not; the face is unhandsome, too small for the head, and oddly off-center. On the right: Cristiano Ronaldo

It’s bleak but efficient. Nowhere to sit. I took a pic of this sign last time I was there.
A handwritten sign taped to a pedestal that says “This Line is For: MV Title’s Plate’s Sticker’s Handicap Plackers Thank You 🙂”

A white model in a a strapless ivory Schiaparelli couture dress. The bodice and peplum are highly structured, with the peplum standing out from the waist and the edge rigid in a sine wave pattern. The floor-length skirt is unstructured soft tulle or similar. The Priory Chapel (or Abbey Church) of St Louis Missouri, built in 1962 in a distinctive mid-century style with a two-tiered roof in a pattern similar to a sine wave.

From “Butcher’s Dozen” (1972) by Thomas Kinsella
That harsher spirit, who before Had flushed with anger, spoke once more: "Simple lessons cut most deep. This lesson in our hearts we keep: You condescend to hear us speak Only when we slap your cheek. And yet we lack the last technique: We rap for order with a gun, The issues simplify to one —Then your Democracy insists You mustn't talk with terrorists.”

Thanks for reminding me I stitched these ducks!
A cross stitch of two tiny ducks with a USA penny for scale. The larger duck is almost as big as the penny. They are swimming in a stitched light blue pond with a black border.

Subtle design choice, private security company
An SUV painted black with the words NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHMAN painted in bright yellow on the side. The design is very similar to Moore & Gibbons’ Watchmen comic book.
