My stop sign was taken on Grand Turk after a cat 4 hurricane had come through. They had just rebuilt the cruise ship pier - the kids were going to school in tents. The building in the back was the international airport. This was the next photo - which was the John Glenn capsule outside the airport. In 1962, he splashed down a mile or two from the island and spent a couple of days there.

Interesting crosswalk signage, David. I've not seen one like that before.
And it has recently been replaced with a normal crosswalk sign. One might not be familiar with the image on the walking sign, but it is John Cleese's Silly Walk sketch from Monty Python.

Here is a different crossing sign.from Grenada. Of course I immediately thought of the Lollipop Guild from the movie the Wizard of Oz. But that wasn't it.

I thought it looked familiar, but didn't grok the source - thanks for the explanation
"We are the people" Was a slogan in 1989 just before the Berlin Wall fell.
(This was during a parade celebrating the 800 year anniversary of a small village in former East-Germany)
