Superhero Photo Challenge - Hidden Messages
Yesterday morning I read this post containing the assignment for this week's photo challenge. It said to find a hidden message. It seemed all well and good, but I was a little skeptical that I'd find one in time to do the challenge. Well, sometimes you actually get what you're looking for.
While walking down Newport Avenue to the Wollaston T station, I looked down and saw the word "warmer" written in chalk. I was silently asking a question in my head and was stopped in my tracks, because I walked over it. I turned around and walked back, whipped out my camera phone and took a picture after remembering the photo challenge. What luck!
It seemed like a treasure hunt or something, so I was ready to see what the next clue would be. The next clue was "getting warm" so I figured I was walking away from the direction that the person was leading the clue seekers. It was still fun and encouraging though, so I kept snapping photos.
The next and last hidden message that I saw before arriving at the station, said "you're so close." I don't know who wrote this, but thanks for the material whoever you are! I'm always looking for guidance, so maybe this means I'm on the right track.

In South Carolina on the way to the beach, a Hispanic theme park with gas, food and Carousel etc has "Pedro wants you" sign for miles too! Hahaha!!
When I was younger and in a band, I was looking for songwriting inspiration. I was walking across the Mass. Ave. bridge and, as I reached the middle, there was writing on the pavement. It said, "Halfway To Hell."
Well, that's just a great title for a heavy metal song, so I wrote it. Pretty much wrote itself, really.
The fun thing about it is this: Did the graffiti writer mean that Cambridge was hell, or Boston? It was written in such a position on the bridge that it gave no clue as to the intent. I thought it was brilliant.
so simple - You see everything that I saw. I would have had to go out of my way to see where it was leading to and I didn't have time. I was just walking to the train. I'm curious too though.
los angelista - It's never crowded there. Quincy streets aren't like Boston streets!
suldog - Love your story! And it does make you wonder which city they were referring to. Very interesting.
zen chef - Look around today. Who knows? : )
nupur - Really! Glad you liked it. : )
