31 January 2015: Complaint Department

 This is the northwest cover of Glenwood and Farwell. It has looked like this for months! With all the tearing up of the neighborhood in the past two years, I am not certain who is responsible for this particular mess, though i suspect it is related to the water main replacement project. This is an otherwise nice block, with lots of thriving businesses (including Caribbean Cuts, Lifeline Theatre, and RP Social). Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the entrance to that block a little more inviting?

I don't know how i've managed not to take a picture of the vertical blade sign outside the Lifeline Theatre until now. I like both the sign and the theatre, which specializes in adaptations of literary works and also runs a series of plays for children.  

By the way, i'm feeling very pleased with myself for knowing that this type of sign is called a vertical blade sign. I just learned the term a few days ago when reading about the restoration of the Harper Theatre in Hyde Park and feel compelled to flaunt my new vocabulary.
