The roof would probably fall in on this design if you had a short name like, say, Chris Bos.

But were any of the awards that the design won “major awards” a la “A Christmas Story”?

I wonder if a similar design exists for Pat Quinn’s election for fourth grade class president (if he ran) from ‘57.

Got some palm cards and window stickers for Parky with that design in my basement with other political stuff. Reminds me, village junk day is coming up soon, gotta head down to the basement.

This billboard has been staring into my soul the last week and I just assumed it was put up my somebody with no affiliation to Cullerton or the campaign.
