Graffiti
Bad tires are treadful.
Submitter comment:
I saw this graffiti on an advertisement while stopped for a traffic light on Gratiot--a main street in north-east part of Detroit. It was an advertisement for both AAA and General Tire Company.

THE DEAD RETURN
YEARS AGO OUTSIDE OF MONROE THERE WAS A GUY KILLED ON A MOTORCYCLE. TO THIS DAY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT YOU CAN SOMETIMES SEE A MYSTERIOUS LIGHT THAT MOVES IN THE DISTANCE. THE LIGHT IS DEEP IN THE WOODS AND ALONG WITH IT IS THE SOUND OF A RUNNING MOTORCYCLE. IT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED AND CAN'T BE EXPLAINED.
