Maybe they're revising the sign. Maybe they're adding new animals.

The Chicken No Longer Fingers the Ram
The swordfish no longer points to the chicken.
Our favorite sign in Brooklyn (or anywhere else for that matter) is gone. Now only a barbed wire fence on the corner of 21st St & 3rd Ave. Did Alnoor Halal Live Poultry Mkt close? I suppose we could call 832 7338 and find out. Who designed this sign--he/she is a graphic genius though not strong on spelling (it's obscured in the photo, but I always liked that "turkey" was spelled TURKY on both sides of the sign) or on the concept of "poultry." How did rabbits, rams, and swordfish become poultry? And did they really have live swordfish and rams? Damn foolish of us never to investigate.
Maybe they're revising the sign. Maybe they're adding new animals.
