In Greensboro, there are certain costumes and signs you expect to see, advertising businesses. For example, we've come to expect Lady Liberty reminding us that it is tax season (here); and Ronald McDonald promoting the golden arches (here); the Chick-fil-A cow convincing us to eat more chicken, and the pawn shop person shaking a sign, convincing us to stop and sell our gold, etc. However, we saw a new costume at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Parade. The above human advertiser wore an inflated, neon green outfit made out of a material that looked like a plastic pool inflatable. The novelty was very effective as he attracted a lot of attention. His sign doesn't even name the business he is representing. The phone number must be sufficient.
Today is ABC Wednesday and for our A-Z Urban Finds series, C is for Costume.
The "Rolling On!" highway logo the ABC Wednesday crew made for Round 18 seems fitting for our theme: Urban Finds. See the rest of our entries to date, here.

We get people here in costume as well advertising a local business- often tax return businesses too.

Not many people in costume in this rural village, - but they are a sight to behold when one goes to the City.

Plenty of that going on here too. I actually love seeing the big guys in the stature of liberty garb, super amusing!
