There's a pub on the corner of 58A Avenue and 176A Street. It has a rodeo sign on it but the word "live" is spelled "lvie". I doubt the typo was intentional. Even if the artist didn't catch the typo I would have thought the proprietor would have noticed and asked the artist to fix it. I don't know. Maybe he got a reduced rate to leave it as is. At any rate it was picture worthy. Fortunately I had my phone with me and snapped a pic.

Cloverdale Window Painting on Local Pub
Many of Cloverdale's merchants have signs painted on their windows to promote the Cloverdale rodeo. I don't know who the painter is. Back in the 70's it was a friend of the people who lived across the street from us and I don't recall what he charged per window. $50 or so. He lived on Vancouver Island and he'd show up in Cloverdale in his van and at nights park it in our friend's driveway. Whoever is painting the windows these days is continuing in the fun cartoon like caricatures of cowboys and horses.
