Original Toronto Star caption: Look at the bright side: it can get pretty cold at the foot of Spadina Ave. near Lakeshore Boulevarde where this sign is located. But Robert Brenton (right) and his co-worker; Steve MacNeil; are busy with the billboard; making sure that the travel ad is straight and that there are no wrinkles. It could be worse for them - it could have been an ad with a winter scene.
