M — It’s interesting b/c if a street artist did this, I’d think it was cool. But when huge franchises do it, it just seems like a corporate takeover of public space –

I read about someone doing that same sidewalk advertising in LA someplace - I think it was a car dealership. On one hand I think it's hilarious (they're cleaning!) and an interesting way to display an advertisement and it's better than spray painting. It's also interesting because someone figured there were enough pedestrians in the area to make the effort worthwhile. On the other hand, it is obnoxious, I don't know if any "greenness" in the method can make up for the things being advertised and I'd rather see art on the sidewalks using the same technique. Then again I make pictures out of the leaves and stuff that are already on the sidewalks and hope someone else sees the results and smiles. M’s last blog post..Happy 4th of July!

I leave typos here and there too, unfortunately. Would love to hire a copyeditor, but can’t….

I believe Chipotle used to be part owned by McDonald’s, but isn’t anymore.

Interesting… isn’t Chipotle owned by McDonald’s? I could be wrong. I do love their burritos… that much I know.

With the Domino’s thing… I know that a local amusement park in San Diego was doing the same thing.. with saltwater! That can’t be great for the longevity of the concrete though.

Lloyd Alter of treehugger is right on the mark politically here... but should have a proofreader check his use of "it's" vs. "its" (as in "recover the energy in it’s manufacture") Joe Linton’s last blog post..Of Nexus and Navigability: Part 5 – USACE: no ifs ands or boats!
