Everything is going to be alright


Mr. Bob Rennie has a message to tell everyone. He has put up a sign on his building in Chinatown that says "Everything Will be Alright". This sign is actually the work of British artist Martin Creed. The sign is clearly visible from the Georgia Street Viaduct when looking North.

This from Bob Rennie, BC Business magazine, 2 Sept 2009 -

“On the exterior walls of my new offices in Chinatown, I’ve installed a 23-metre neon work of art by Britain’s Martin Creed. It reads, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. And it will. Yes, we boomers are on the downward side of our peak earning years. Yes, we’ve experienced the biggest financial collapse in our lifetime. We will have to institute dramatic changes in how we entertain ourselves, where and how we travel, what we drive, where we live and how we ultimately pass on wealth to our children. For the enterprising business person, there are many opportunities out there to capitalize on this new reality. But for those praying for a return to yesterday, forget it. It’s gone.”


Just look at Dubai. Some dreams are gone.
