TORONTO TYPE

This sign is painted on the facade of a car wash that’s no longer operating. Read it line by line and it becomes an accidental poem.

It makes sense that “Deluxe” is up at the top. Being so far out of reach, it seems extra special. You have to crane your neck to see it.

“Regular” is more approachable, but has its own appeal: “Foam bath, Wash, Sparkle Rinse, Dry.” The simplicity is enough to elicit tears.
