A Good Sign: Bob's Grinding Service
A traveling sign, anyway. For one of the City's few mobile knife-grinding services. Wonder how many people come out with lawnmowers to be "sharpened by lathe"?

Not too many, considering the paving over of lawns is the current trend.
Nice to see that. We have a couple here in Toronto that go around in the summer - they sharpen kitchen knives too, and play bells as they go down the street to alert customers.
I'm the editor of Goodie magazine www.goodie.org, and our office is on 8th Street in Brooklyn. We had a donated paper cutter that wasn't cutting, and happily for us a month or so ago, here came Bob the grinder down 8th Street. He took the blade off and sharpened it so well that it can now cut through a deli napkin. Thank goodness for Bob. There are a few of these grinding trucks yet and I'm always so happy to see them.
