There's a large pole in the heart of #FernwoodCommunity Square that's been a popular #indie #advertising station for decades. I remember seeing many flyers on it when I attended elementary & jr high schools in that community in the 80s. It's still a well used local public promo postering spot ☺️

These are 4 of the many #promo flyers/posters that's currently on the pole.
