Perspective – Ottawa vs. Small Town Saskatchewan

Take a close look at the sign below!  Not the phone number, or the implied idea that these are 5 star condos.  Take a look at how tall the sign is.

Condo sign in Ottawa

In our neck of the woods, a four storey building is tall.  We currently have a seniors complex being  built that will rival the town structures for tallest and largest building.  It’s four floors high!

Now, count the floors between the sign bottom and top.  I count around six to seven floors.  In other words, I could take this sign, string it up and still see it flying above the town no matter where I placed it.

Imagine using the cloth/canvas for a tent.  Enough for a small army?  Or maybe as a fence around the back 40!  Tipped on it’s side I’d guess it would be a storey or two high!

Now look again at the picture.  In reality it just seems like a small advertisement on the side of an Ottawa building – a way to get tenants.  Nothing unusual unless you live in small town Saskatchewan.
