   I saw the one by the melting pot a week ago, so they’ve been up at least that long. Great stuff, sorry to hear you’re not behind it Don…

   Perhaps it’s part of a literacy campaign to teach Spanish speakers that these letters do not say “see-ah”, but rather, “shuh”.

   Yes, I’m sure ol’ Javen has NOTHIN to do with it.

   Yeah, the Cosmetology Institute of America is coming to town, and in true CIA fashion they’re implementing their tried and true guerrilla style marketing tactics. Some say it’s too clever, but I, for one, think these dishes are the perfect example of a great conversation starter.

   Yep. It’s either that or some tongue-in-cheek social commentary on our violations of privacy in true Banskyesque form.

   The second photo is the dish near Melting Pot.
   The top photo was taken at the city surveillance building.

   But I don’t think CS Utilities added the spray paint. Just some witty and/or paranoid vandals?

   Having witnessed the install of one the dishes, I can assure you that is just good ol’ street art. If anyone has identified any more of these, please let me know.
