@ElleGray yikes, at least split that into two signs ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@ElleGray

I'm at the Play Area.
I'm at the Cholera Burial Ground.
I'm at the combination Play Area & Cholera Burial Ground.

@ElleGray I can't be bothered to look for the picture, but one time I saw a sign that said:
Cemetery ->
Recycling ->

And I giggled.

@ElleGray is that a post-Brexit sign? Feels like a result of Brexit...
@ElleGray kinda reminds me of the memorial to the Fort Gratiot soldiers who died of cholera in the late 19th century. people would drive up to in groups it and just be all solemn and shit. real weird shit. like, did they not read the fucking plaque?

@ElleGray
Reminds me of a favorite poem of mine,

"Two roads diverged in a yellow fever..."

@ElleGray

I guess the "&" at the sign shows that both places are indeed the same place?

@ElleGray that one is up there with my other favourite :

Long Stay >>>>
Toilets >>>>

@ElleGray I initially read that as cholera battle ground - which given my friends experience as parents does appear to track.
@ElleGray
is this the English version of the Donner Party Picnic Area in Donner Pass, California?
@ElleGray "How far in the future are we, Doctor?" "About two weeks."
@ElleGray In Toronto, the once cholera burial ground is now an upscale department store.
@ElleGray Plague area, more like

@ElleGray "The pump don't work because the vandals* took the handle"

@ElleGray Heh. Not too far from me was a daycare center, in the same office park as the site of an outbreak of a novel Ebola virus. (both the daycare and the research lab are gone now, I believe).
@ElleGray "where playing Ring-around-the-Rosie is mandatory"
@ElleGray Clearly a late 2024 English burial ground?

@ElleGray

This is basically an accurate description of a kids ball pool. A plastic petri dish of fun and fungal infection.

@ElleGray

Parent's should not let their children dig too deep in the sand pit!

@lisamelton

@ElleGray I'm curious.

How long has New Street been there?

Oh, and "Choolera" FTW! (ETA: Yeah, I know, it's just a stitching error in Street View)

@ElleGray One of the places I drive by when going camping ... and every time we complain it costs an arm and a leg for reservations.
@ElleGray
The slippin' n slidin' is bloody frightful
@ElleGray Reminds me of this sign in South Carolina. ๐Ÿ˜„
@ElleGray "They said it would build immunity (and character), but even they could not have anticipated that the contagious and incontinent rebellion (and tenticle stuff) would start there..."
