"I sat on the rug..."

The south(-west) side of Kingsway, the bend between 12th Avenue and Fraser. Behind the sign, a sample. A rug. One rug. Like the sign says: RUG.

In 1965 the Beatles wrote and performed a song ("Norwegian Wood") with a rug in it (first line, second verse). Note John's emphasis on the vowel ("u"), the glue he dabs on it, tapping his brush on the consonant ("g").
