Construction might suck, but good design rocks!

I've been seeing these Construction Sucks signs all over Ronces for a couple of months at least and I keep meaning to put an image of one of them up here. Now I've finally got around to it.

Once again I have to congratulate the local business community for making the best of the tough situation with the street being ripped up for so long. Instead of whining about it to the rest of the world (which rightly or wrongly does not care) they are trying everything they can to help people understand that its business as usual here. From the free parking all along the street during construction, to the pro-active marketing, these folks are doing it the right way.

Also, as a guy who used to be quite involved in the design industry I am impressed to see that who ever came up with this idea was smart enough to go to a professional designer. It looks so much more professional than something slapped together by an amateur with desktop publishing software. Somehow, it makes me even happier to live in Roncesvalles Village knowing that the businesses here have good taste and good sense!
