Vancouver News Poetry with video featuring Aaron Chapman. He and Benjamin “The Sign Guy” Jackson co-wrote a new coffee table book called “A Sign of the Times.”

The Penthouse Nightclub’s marquee sign takes centre stage in new book: “A Sign of the Times”

This new book is not just a rumour.

Stars a marquee sign lit up on Seymour

Fifty signs to flip through,

From your own living room.

Known for dancers, and now known for humour.
