There's always usually some reason for people to put signs in their yards in our neighborhood. Whether it's the latest cause or election to things that are just artistic or fun. I've just been noticing again and thought to capture them on our walk today. This isn't even all of them, I spotted several more, especially for Black Lives Matter, and some were the same so not repeated here. This near east side of Madison can be very expressive, not only in the signs in the yards but the yards and houses themselves. I love that about this area.

Excellent...some really nice pieces there. Most envious.
Most, if not all, the yard signs have been out since sometime last year or earlier, and some are obviously out of date. With the snow melting they've become visible again so they just caught my eye.
...in some ways them being out of date adds to the charm I think.
I can see that. :)
I love the top image and have printed it off to adapt into some kind of artwork at some point when we eventually ever have time for such leisure pursuits ever again...
Interesting to see the process for being allowed to demolish an existing building (bottom image) in your part of the world.
I believe I've posted a picture of the first one sometime before. It's on a fence along the bike path and by creek at the end of the street.
It looks like a house that's fallen into disrepair. Must be pretty bad off to demolish and rebuild from scratch.
In certain parts of the US that's what they do, wholesale, to some districts (I've seen it happening in Florida, and in Nevada). They build housing estates so badly that after 20 years or so the area goes downhill, until it's so bad they knock the lot down and start again. Not very environmentally friendly. But great for developers $$$.
It's happening over here too. People (developers) buy up small older houses on good size plots then try to build 3 or 4 in the same space. Often there is nothing wrong with the original house, but, y'know, greed...
