So Long, Anal Place

For the past 8 years or so, every time I've left my office this sign has greeted me from across the street:



It's a pretty clear example of why you shouldn't choose "canal" as the first word of something, then make all the letters the same case, and plant shrubbery where it will obscure the first letter.1

Anyway, today's the last day I'll see this sign for a while, since I'm being moved downtown. And sadly, there's no anal place across the street from the downtown office.2

Not even if you use the rear entrance.3


1 Or, depending on your sense of humor, it's a pretty clear example of why you should.
2 Or, if there is, it's marked much more discreetly.
3 Yeah, I went there. To the rear entrance, that is. There isn't any sign.
