Queensboro Bridge, 1991

Queensboro Bridge, Manhattan December 1991 view from Bloomingdale's waitress unlocked door to balcony to let me go out! I saw Linus Pauling, only person to win two unshared Nobel prizes. He was wearing his trademark oversized black beret and I recognized from the other end of the floor. Nobody else did!  If it had been Madonna she would have been mobbed. I was too awestruck to get his photo or talk to him.

Vandalized bilingual signs

In 1976, The province of Quebec banned English on commercial signs even though there was a large English speaking community there. 

Although this was not a commercial sign, this sign at the Jeffery Hale Hospital in Quebec City was vandalized. c. 1988

Sign in French for the Théâtre de la Sucerie, Casselman, Ontario vandalized c. 1988. It was a dinner theatre and only did shows in French, and so it wouldn't make any sense for it to have an English translation, but the section of the sign for the Sucerie (Sugar Shack) itself was bilingual

poster, c. 1989

In 1988, The Supreme Court of Canada ruled the ban on English was illegal, and the provincial government responded with Bill 178 which allowed for inside bilingual signs. Political organizations in Quebec protested this new law.
