The secret burial grounds of candidate signs
By adamg - 12/30/11 - 12:55 pm
Mike Ball discovered this cache of signs for Will Dorcena's at-large council bid yesterday - on the porch of Dorcena's Hyde Park home. Destined for the recycling truck or re-use?

Very well organized. Looks
Very well organized. Looks like voters chose wisely.
Please! Who gave Mike Ball
Please! Who gave Mike Ball permission to walk up on Will Dorcena's porch?
The Will Himself
He asked me among many others whether he could have his sign back. He's neither anonymous nor unnice.
Mike
Guess Will's too busy not
Guess Will's too busy not being city councilor to pick it up himself the week after election, like all the other pols or wannabe pols in town. Or to put the extras he never found a lawn for away for the season. Thanks Mike for alerting us all to this blight.
Reuse is likely
My friends who run for local office gather up the signs and put the ones that are reusable away. The ones that have useful structure are refitted with new paper for the new campaign.
When one friend didn't run again, he gave his signs to another and we broke out the beer and the tunes and spent a couple of evenings in a garage taking off the old signs and putting on the new ones. This is a lot cheaper than starting over ... and fun.
Take these
and add them to the Christmas trees and Festivus poles, pile them up and light them on fire. Saves valuable space in the landfills. Do not try to burn them in your fireplace though.
Allston flamer could be onto something
Burning all those pesky cars getting in the way of law-abiding cyclists.More room on the roads and if you melt em down less space in the junkyard. It's win-win.
Has the Allston flamer gone Hollywood?
Go west young maniac?

I don't think Tom Lehrer was describing a specific "My Home Town" here, do you?
