BBC Broadsides

Starting in March 2011, I began putting broadsides (small posters) up around the Boston area (and some in Los Angeles, too). I call them BBC Broadsides. So far, these come in three flavors: Mappy Facts; Poems by Paul Johns; and Street Surveys.

Street Surveys ask questions that people can answer by removing a slip of paper.

Here are PDFs of the flyers, if you'd like to put some up near you:

-"do you feel a sense of community where you live?"
-"do you identify with where you live?"
-"do you talk to your neighbors?"
-"how many strangers do you see every day that you recognize?"
-"would you raise a kid around here?"

Scroll down to see the posters themselves.
