while browsing on hoboken411 (which boasts itself as the NEW online guide for hoboken), i found this: 
the blogger titled his post, anti war sign, and wrote, "Spotted this rogue sign someone nailed to the street pole near Maxwell Place on 11th and Hudson Streets.

What would be your translation for those that don’t get it? How long do you think before it’s removed?"

(whenever we put up anti-war stickers around town, on community billboards, signs, etc., sadly & predictably, they were promptly removed.)
where's banksy when you need him?! see his graffiti street art above and much more on flickr.
