Default New Alberta Point of Interest sign downtown

So I'm not quite sure what to think of this new sign in between the Old Spaghetti Factory and the French Maid downtown. It looks like a legit Point of Interest sign, but yeah...you be the judge.

Kind of hard to read...but you should be able make it out.

Interesting... I'm going to guess that it's an art installation rather than an actual point of interest sign. I can't imagine a PoI being posted for such subject matter, especially in more or less poetic form.

In a room near this spot? It should say in a vehicle in the parking lot directly behind that sign and to the right. I used to park there all the time when I used to frequent the French Maid in the early 90's. We used to call the area by the wall facing west, furthest from the street "condom corner". There must have been hundreds of them scattered all over the place.

Whoever did this, I am in awe. Knowing city council, it'll be down in days, because we can't have any awesome going on without a permit.

If this is legit, something tells me the price of hookers just went up.

You know, the sign doesn't lie. These are interesting points to stop and read.

When this makes the news CP better get props. This is clearly a city wide prank and an awesome one at that.

Quick someone email CFCN.
