    Signs Springing Up on Lampposts Around Decatur

    Decatur Metro | August 25, 2015 | 1:26 pm

    Signs are appearing around Decatur.

    But these aren’t your garden variety, “Stay Off the Lawn”, “Dogs Should Poop Elsewhere” signs.  The Decatur Arts Alliance posted the pic above on Twitter a few days back, promising more in the coming days. The one above is hung Clairemont near the Decatur Visitors Center.

    And here’s another right off Decatur Square, courtesy of Daren…

    Where did they come from?

    Well, we’ve heard that these signs were erected by the artist Larry Holland and Gerry Gorman in conjunction with the Decatur Arts Alliance.  Mr Holland was also responsible for the animal crossing signs and organizing the secret doors throughout the city over the past year.

    The Arts Alliance’s Angie Macon tells us the quotes all come from books, poems and songs of Georgia artists and writers.  They are using the hashtag #gawrites, if you’re planning to snap a picture and post it on the internets in the coming days.

    Take a walk on this beautiful afternoon and check them out!
