On a short walk in my neighborhood this morning, I must have passed hundreds of poles: Light poles, utility poles, sign poles.

They do their jobs of holding up stuff but I noticed that they can do a lot more.

Here in just a few blocks, some upgrades:

This Stop sign pole is across from a yarn store.

Light pole as soap box.

This memorial pole shows up on my corner every year around this time.

It is for young Emily Dunn, hit by a bus at this intersection.

I’ve posted about it before: ad hoc monuments

These pole dancers are in a series of guerrilla pieces in the neighborhood. Bravo, somebody!
