I wished I'd had a camera

I don't have a photograph, so I'll have to describe the scene. Picture the posts holding up the streetlights in a small town in the United States. They'll probably have metal poles sticking out at a 90-degree angle so that banners or flags can be placed over them. Those banners will perhaps be advertising a tourist attraction, or an arts event, or making a civic boast.

In New Providence, New Jersey, when I was last there in the summer of 1998, the banners they had hanging read "New Providence Yields to Pedestrians."
