If this doesn’t put a smile on your face, nothing will. Everyone knows that messages on signs are important. If you don’t, pay 25 cents.
The Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce and others are promoting this truth. It’s for the foreigner. Locals already know this.
Here is a pleasant invitation as well as a good use of language. It’s to attract the customer to The Sweet Shop.Sundaes on Saturdays. Someone is a good chalkboard artist, too.
A truck, a flag and a dirt road. That’s all needed by the artist
Well, this is a fine piece of information. Win something. There are only four days to go in the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce’s downtown promotion game. Sign in.
Here is a display outside Jana’s Mercantile that says it all without saying anything. There are books inside, especially decorated ones. Ones that make colorful gifts. Come see.
Around Atlanta
Do you like to go around and look in the windows of downtown stores? It’s a pleasant hobby.
Someone works hard to put up artistic messages for the eye to see. And they do this more often than the casual observer might think. Weekly, perhaps.
One finds flyers with community information about upcoming happenings. Someone is trying to get the message out. They ask the merchant, “Can you paste this up in your window for me?”
A visit to the downtown can reward the community minded person who stops to read and appreciate the art. Perhaps they will let someone else know what has been learned.
“Did you know this (school, church, organization) is having this event?”
“This local person is surely a good artist and with creative ideas.”
“That’s a wise saying. I’ll put it on my wall at home and read it daily.”
“Maybe I’ll go.” Sometime, if you’ll just take a moment, walk around downtown Atlanta even at night and see how many shops have decorated their windows. See how well they’ve done. Downtown merchants hold themselves to a high standard. They’re trying to impress you. Show appreciation by observing.
Surrounding this article are six windows and displays noticed last week.
