I drive through Finksburg and Westminster, MD, on Rt 140, several times a
week, and lately I have seen several billboards with three stylized
caricatures of a dog's head, with rays projecting out of the head, and the
single word "Heel" also repeated three times. There does not seem to be any
other information. Has anyone else seen anything like this, or have any
idea what it means? I'll try to get a picture of one of the signs to see if
anyone recognizes it.
I seem to remember something like this once before, where a single word was
posted, and then later more was added. This might have been at the
beginning of Baltimore's "Believe" campaign, which is still (sort of)
active. But, given the violence and dangerous conditions that persist in
much of the city, I think it is more appropriate to remove the "Be" part,
and just "lieve". I sure wouldn't want to live (or die) there.
Unlike the "heel" signs, I found a number of references to "Baltimore
Believe":

Maybe it's part of some new campaign...
