Downtown Manitowoc Wisconsin "Manitowoc Authentic" promo lightpole banner, with its squiggle that is both an M and a W.

I notice where the yellow "Manitowoc Authentic" lightpole banner is partway blocking people's views of the authenticity it says it wants us to think about.

 

Or maybe it's the lightpole banners themselves that we're supposed to identify as authentic?, vs something else that definitely isn't authentic? — I guess that's a question for whichever consultancy operation it was that told the City that it ought to hang the banners up.

 

Ha ha, ask the consultants what it is we're supposed to think!
