I saw the front of this John Burton for Crystal Lake Park Board yard sign sitting at the corner of West Crystal Lake and Dole Avenues
It was there while I was attending the First United Methodist Church Rummage Sale this past week.
It was still there Sunday morning.
It seemed to me rather a long time after the April 17th election for a sign to be posted at a major intersection.
Sunday after church, I decided to remove it, but, when I looked more closely at it, it seemed to have a new purpose.
On the side facing the main Dole Avenue stop sign was a different message.
It said,
“GARAGE SALE “
and had an arrow pointing east.
Burton’s sign had also been cut down to fit the smaller “House Sale” sign.
Re-cycling a politician’s yard sign.
A much kinder end than in the garbage, even with the mutilation.
