Blue S on door, Mr. Kortleever
Wilmar Kortleever offers a challenge to inquiring minds as he asks on Leaside Chit Chat Facebook who is putting obscure notices on the front of Eglinton Ave. storefronts which simply read: “S” in the colour blue. Wilmar (inset) says this started four or five days ago between Laird and Sutherland on both sides. The simple pieces of paper are taped to windows. He says: “Only saw them today (Wednesday) triggered my curiosity, had a rare minute to kill between engagements, so inquired a bit. Turns out most (if not all) business owners have no clue what they mean, or who put them up. Two people suggested it had to do with Metrolinx, but that could be the logical automatism for all the mayhem happening around here. The most specific suggestion I got was that it signified some kind of ‘being safe’. Which is actually somewhat worrisome, because safe from what? And who is not?”
