Why, thank you!
Taken at the 18th Ave entrance to the Journalism Building on campus. We used to be able to cut across to 19th Ave if we followed the path and turned left at the corner in between the Journalism Building and Robinson's Lab, where there's a post office. But Robinson's Lab, around the corner just a little further on the walkway in the pic, was torn down a year ago for a complete overhaul. So the immediate vicinity was blocked off for the construction, and thus the walkway was cut off at the post office (which is pointed out by this official looking noticeboard).
What I think is amazing with this noticeboard is that it's actually there to, you know, tell us "yo don't waste your time trying to cut across to 19th Ave cos there ain't no path no more". Which is cool, it'll saves someone 2 minutes of their time and walking energy if they had thought they could cut across to 19th Ave.
Now I'm thinking, if this exact construction and building scenario happened in Malaysia, will I see a sign like that? Probably not. What do I care if I think this only happens in America (at least in Ohio, where everyone is nice) and not in Malaysia? Because I see a difference in attitude between how things are run in both places. Y'see, in Malaysia no one's paid to care.
