I saw this little gem behind the outlet malls in Lincoln City, Oregon this weekend. Now I’m only disappointed in myself that I didn’t investigate how easy it would have been to add this to the permanent Kilwag collection. But then again, not the sort of thing you’d want to do with a sleeping toddler in the car. This might be my favorite no skateboarding sign of all times. You have to dig the no nonsense approach. Click to enlarge.
UPDATE: just added another beauty of a sign from the same location, from reader John Drummond.
This one is a little more polite. I guess they figured passive aggressive was good for the public facade, while a more rude approach was suitable for the back alley. Again with the quotation marks.

Let’s see that ‘permanent collection’ sometime!

Unfortunately, it’s only a few signs.

I love the quotation marks. I’d credit this quote to Richard Move, commercial property manager.

Word..unnecessary quotation marks for the win.
What a bunch of d-bags.

You gotta love the unnecessary use of two typefaces too.
Tito
what you got against two type faces! LOL!

Clearly they want to emphasize that we’re being thanked.
Seems like there’s room for a “not” after the “are”.

Does anyone know where I can get a leash to walk my skateboard and how far should I walk it to make sure it gets enough exercise?
