Neighbourhood Signage

I love my neighbourhood. I’m tucked into the pockets of both Chinatown and Little Italy, and there’s a good sprinkling of Vietnamese, Cambodian, Somalian and other cultures here too. The diverse clothing, people, languages, activities, lifestyles, restaurants, spices and aromas, gardens…it all combines to make an interesting, trippy little neighbourhood. It’s like a big old pot of soup, and it keeps getting better as the various flavours blend and harmonize.

Maybe I just have a juvenile sense of humour, but I get a kick out of some of the local signage.


This Doctor Dentist one is my favourite. I have no idea if the doctor’s name really is Dentist or not, or if it was just a misunderstanding between the dentist and the signmaker. If so, I hope they never fix it.
