It's cool, but I just drove back and didn't see it. I'm guessing it's at the Peace Arch crossing and not seen from the truck crossing. Interesting story about Sam Hill.

Border crossings can take up to three hours in traffic. Lots of people will get to stare at the non-sign, I promise.

PS: Who would want to get away from Sam Hill? The man was an accidental genius.

biffp: Yes, at the Peace Arch crossing.

Alicia: I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the artists say it isn't visible from the line -- it's really a thing you pass by. Have you seen the new configuration of the station? It's not straight through anymore, and apparently this is behind one of the curves. ? We'll see.

I'll have to make sure I go through Peace Arch the next time I'm up that way. Is it in the park itself?

Can't wait for someone to buy the land directly behind this thing and put up a big advertisement.

I'm normally too busy ditching my weed to notice art.

I love it. It's clever, looks cool, and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the message. That's what great art is all about.

Just needed you to know I have added your site to my Google bookmarks nfl jerseys because of your extraordinary blog layout. But seriously, I think your site has one of the freshest theme I've came across.

We spotted this thing yesterday while waiting in line and both my husband and I were like WTF is that and did it cost taxpayer money. Apparently, yes it did. And also, this lovely "rendering" is completely inaccurate. This thing is like right beside the highway on one side and instead of a forest behind it, it's the OCEAN!
