We asked you to show us how close the recession is to your doorstep, and here’s our first submission, straight out of Big D:

 

Name: Lindsay Graham

Location: Dallas, Texas

Recovery/downturn: I have NO idea whether this is recession or recovery, but it’s unsettling nonetheless. (An unrepaired leak is a mark of the downturn, but that a sign was purchased and set up portends recovery. —Eds)

Distance from home: Three blocks

Send your photos of recession or recovery to [email protected]. Please also include where you took it and how far it is from your home.
