Educational Value!

Some of the Buena Save sign sets could be said to be "educational."  Well, um, three of them are located at schools in the Buena Vista district.  For instance, the signs at the Archer A. Claytor Center/Doerr Elementary complex express their message as a haiku, an elegant Japanese poetry style that limits the poet to just seventeen syllables.  (Sounds like an ancient forerunner of Twitter.)

Watch for these signs if you're heading east on Perkins Street, as you approach 25th.  Here's the message:   B V SENDS
                      GREETINGS TO YOU
                 BY WAY OF
                      THIS BRIEF
                 HAIKU
                       Buena Save

Remember to count the syllables in "Buena Save" to get up to seventeen!
