Hate is Not Welcome Here and Spread Kindness Traffic Barricade

Hate is Not Welcome Here and Spread Kindness Traffic Barricade

St. Croix Trail N, Stillwater, Minnesota

Two cement traffic blockades feature bold script surrounded by floral and brick motifs. The floral motif covers the top half while the red brick covers the bottom half. The right blockade reads "spread kindness" and the left reads "hate is not welcome here." The text is in all capitals, suggesting the importance of the message. The flowers appear to be roses, peonies, and an unidentified tiny five petal flower. The flowers are multicolored including pink, orange- red, blue, purple, and yellow. Green vegetation surrounds the flowers and spills over the painted brick.
