  2. Why waste the money to build a billboard that states the fact that we are currently in a recession. We know this. Couldn't that money go towards something better?

    Irony within Irony.

  3. Unrelated: pretty regularly, I've seen a bunch of dudes in the lot below that sign playing cricket. It's usually around 6-7pm on weekdays, though traffic hasn't been backed up enough for me to snag a photo.

  4. @Cosmo: There's actually a Cricket Test Field just on the other-side on the Liebert Road side of Riverside Park. I've always wanted to go and take a look but never got about it.

  5. @Di and @Cosmo: saw the cricket match there last summer. Didn't know what was going on at all but somewhat interesting. http://sadcityhartford.blogspot.com/2010/07/take-me-out-to-cricket-match.html

  6. I love the Ruth Chris' Steakhouse billboard right behind it. One of the most expensive steakhouses in CT.
