OMG Quaker Advertising! Brooklyn Quakers boldly put up a big sign
I saw this sign in front of the Brooklyn Quaker Meetinghouse when I was coming back from the gym today. Apparently Brooklyn Quakers have finally gotten around to putting up a more visible sign on the Adams Street side of the meetinghouse. I love how plain and unadorned the sign is, with no logo or…
