Put Phone Away
A sign installed to appear like an official road sign on a ramp leading to the Hawthorne Bridge in Portland, OR depicts several animals including a lamb, owl, rabbit, and cat. The sign says "Put Phone Away. Go Pet An Animal. Be Gentle and Kind To It." In smaller lettering it says "because this place has turned to shit fast and this is about all the good that's left. They've ruined most everything but not this. Animals will still tolerate you (even some men). Continue to waste whats left of your life on the internet. If you decide to live like internet looser you may be grab by A HIDING MAN and take new life in pipe for rehabilitation".
