This public gesture coming from the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (known as one of the poorest postal codes in Canada) celebrates optimism amidst the pervasive – and often exaggerated – negativity found within many of the messages we routinely encounter, offering hope for the future.

Great sign!
Thanks to the artist and it lights up at night.
I’m sure I’d make a double look if I ever saw that sign. And the fact that it’s in the poorest area of Vancouver, wow!
Thanks, P! 🙂
It gives the neighbourhood a pick me up every time we see it. When are you coming to town?
🙂 you can bribe me if there is Sun in your corner of our great nation … 🙂
It has been sunny lately, no winter, mountain, sea… is that good enough? 🙂
Sooooooo tempting, girl! LOL. I have to admit that that sounds good! I did hear a rumour that summer may stop by in a few months, but I won’t hold my breath. 🙂
You are smart not to listen to rumours… Mother Nature is just a tease. Then comes the rain.
Yeah, she can be real imp! 🙂
I need to have that sign plastered on the wall in my room…In neon that is!
How about glow in the dark? 🙂
A huge neon one!! ^.^
Way to celebrate optimism …. Great image, Perpetua!
Isn’t it, huh, when the world can sometimes be unwelcoming. Thank you, Amy.
Such positive reinforcement never hurts! 🙂
It better stay reinforced in that building! 😛
More buildings should have positives quotes written on them… sometimes it’s nice to have a little nudge in the right direction!
It’s starting to because the Mayor is into “friendly” Vancouver but a no “party-fun-zone” city. 🙂
Interesting approach…
Liked … positive … all will be …
Love, hugs and keep warm … ME
ME, just like you site, filled with positive reinforcement. Blessings.
