Why this sign?
A & C will be leaving East Liberty's Stevenson Building at the end of the year. I wanted to post something I could remember them by. They always had great painted windows, sometimes topical, sometimes whimsical. One of these windows depicts a giant rubber chicken (or perhaps a real chicken) in honor of the rubber chickens they sold there. You'll still be able to buy rubber chickens in their new location at Hobart and Wightman, but it will no longer be a short stroll for me to get there and buy a new pen or notebook. Vaya con Dios, guys.

thanks for posting this picture! i actually painted the chicken when i worked there last year. i'm glad you enjoyed the signs and it has a home here even though the store has moved. (for the record, i wasn't trying to jump in your van, dude, i was just trying to steal you stereo...) yowss.
