Ass Stance League of Denver: Kenny Be's Sign Language

At first glance, the sign above might look like it is identifying the Denver headquarters of the Ass Stance League.

At first glance, the sign above might look like it is identifying the Denver headquarters of the Ass Stance League. Who knew that our fair city had an association devoted to exploring the many different viewpoints on ass? However, after a nearly year-long investigation, the easily vandalized sign appears instead to be the Congress Park neighborhood's most common criminal caper. On repeated occasions, pranksters have tried to pry the letter "I" from it's stone wall mount. The extremely high-traffic location often prevents the complete removal of the letter "I," leaving the Assistance League of Denver the responsibility of repairing the "I" instead of replacing it. Which serendipitously mirrors the philanthropic organization's mission to aid individuals in their times of need.
