Hepcat and I saw this sign on a lamp post—a real metal sign—on Fifth Avenue and Union Street last night.
He didn’t, ahem, have his camera. So I jotted these notes down. It was a sign like you might find on the Appalachian Trail with instructions to the nearest lean-to. Slope-style,
It had a funny icon – sort of like Dope’s – a stick figure sloper pushing a stroller and holding a coffee cup.
Hepcat did snap a shot using his iPhone camera. Wonder if he’ll post it up here. Unfortunately someone has already graffitied the sign as if it were a real road sign.

That “sign” has now been featured on gothamist and other blogs. “Hepcat” didn’t need his camera. You could, ahem, link your observations to gothamist.
