Okay.
You know the sign holders? It seems to be a weird new thing to have people sit out and hold signs for stores/restaurants as a means of advertising and/or charity. But they're everywhere.
However, all sign guys are not created equal.
Weekday afternoons - probably 2ish-6ish (over rush hour) - there is almost always a guy on the corner of Route 7 and Countryside Boulevard who is to die for!
The Liberty Sign Guy.
Complete with the Statue of Liberty muumuu and mask - this guy is incredible! He dances, waves, spins the sign. Literally, he brings his own oiled board so he can quasi-break dance and moonwalk at that street corner with his sign. I look at him often and think, "He must be EXHAUSTED when he's done every afternoon!" and also, "Where do they even find people to hold the signs? I would totally be a reference for this guy if I had a stinkin' clue where they come from."
Here's the thing. Yesterday, I drove by and he wasn't there!!!! I was legitimately disappointed...but to be honest, this guy has serious sign holding potential. My hope, amid my disappointment, is that he has found a way to step up the sign holding latter somewhere and has been discovered by some talent agency.
This guy has big skills, but I will miss him.
YES. THAT GUY. I can tell you that he is also generally there by 8:40-8:50 on Wednesdays & Fridays. He is often the highlight of the kids' and my trek to preschool. That is the one light we hope is red.
