The board up is a store front that is part of the Flat Iron building at the corner of Milwaukee Ave and North Avenue, in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. The building has artist studio space.
Like any active urban area, if you put up some plywood someone will staple a poster to it announcing everything from concerts to yard sales. But, that's just "my" opinion.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

When did "poster" become a "verb"?
When did that abbreviation for "management" become "acceptable"?

That unpossible!
(I think quotes are the least of this ones worries ;)
Disagree. This makes sense, in a way.
"Flat iron" is a nickname or title for someone, I don't think it's a company (i in iron would be capitalized, unless it's a mistake).
Poster can be a verb too, they probably made that abbreviation up, but it makes sense none the less.
