HAPPY 2017, TUMBLR!
In honor of the new year, I’ve decided to reblog my Top 10 Facts from 2016. I hope you enjoy them!
(In theory, you should… cuz they’re the ones you liked the most)
And here is the number one didyouknow fact from Tumblr in 2016… #1). Richard AnkromA painter in Los Angeles kept missing his exit for the I-5 on the 110 highway, so he did his research, climbed up the overhead sign, and changed it himself without anyone noticing.
This is Richard Ankrom. He couldn’t find his damn exit, cuz it wasn’t properly labelled.
So he took life by the balls, like any self-respecting Californian would do, and used his sign-painting expertise to fix it himself.
He called it ‘guerilla public service.’ Even got himself an outfit to look official. It worked, obvi.
Caltrans investigated, but the sign was actually up to code. They left it there for 8 years before they made an updated sign.
