On my way to the bank yesterday, I almost missed seeing this streamer. It wasn’t prominently displayed and it didn’t really stand out. As a matter of fact, it was an exceedingly ordinary streamer. And had it not been due to the usual daily traffic jam in the area, I probably wouldn’t have noticed it. So why take a photo and waste precious web space on it?
