I walked forty minutes through hailing rain to see this plaque in Toronto and it was so extremely worth it

This #FlashbackFriday sign was originally put up before the hanging cigarette gallows sign. The Department of Highways was objected to the word "hell" on a sign that everyone drove past, so they ended up taking this one down.

the message is a little strong, but it's a nice olde sign

#FBF Who remembers this sign? It was put up in 1950 after a wildfire destroyed 2,396 hectares of forest in the park. Remember to be fire safe, and only smoke in designated areas of the park.

P.S. #NationalParkWeek is a great time to discover new things about parks. Some things haven't changed, like needing to stay a safe distance from wildlife and always #RecreateResponsibly!

I love that sometimes I’ll write something as a flip joke and the editor will actually leave it in. #goosefacts #birdbook #birdwatching #birds #birding

I’ve always seen signage as magical messages that can help me make sense of reality, emphasize something important, warn me of danger, delight me with an unexpected option, or remind me of my place in the world. 1/2
