Signs — in actuality they are yellow and black — are all over downtown. These we took pictures of are outside the Grand Rapids Art Museum. It’s part of the city’s Laughfest, “the nation’s first-ever community-wide festival of laughter” created by Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids. Who doesn’t need a smile, eh?

Didn’t get a chance to get inside, and the lights of the Fillmore weren’t on last when I took this from across the street, basically in front of Comerica Park, where the Detroit Tigers play. But it looks fantastic from the outside.
