Scrap Truck Make-over

We'd be giving ourselves too much credit to think that people read this blog and take immediate action. So we'll just call this coincidence.

This photo is of the junk truck we blogged about a week ago. Note that the side panels, made of chipboard, are spray painted with the words "Scrap Metal." (Obviously not grafitti quality.)

Now this photo, taken yesterday, shows the same truck but the panels have been reversed and painted blue to match the truck.

And the other junk truck that was always parked out in front isn't around any more.

Get out the Elgin Beautification Award application.

Seriously, a little paint, a little common sense, and a little respect for the neighborhood can go a long way. Thanks to whoever did this.
