Street Furniture - Local Significance

Local Significance

Street furniture itself has become as much a part of many nations' identities as dialects and national events, so much so that one can usually recognise the location by their design; famous examples of this include:

  • The red telephone boxes of Britain
  • The residential mail boxes of the United States
  • The street lights and metro entrances of Paris.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or significance:

    “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To grasp the full significance of life is the actor’s duty, to interpret it is his problem, and to express it his dedication.”
    —Marlon Brando (b. 1924)
