I saw this the other day and thought that it was very lovely. Je t'aime! "I love you" in French, etched into the sidewalk. I especially like the exclamation point at the end of the phrase, which (to me) exudes absolute love - to all. I walk by this section of sidewalk almost every single day, and yet it took almost 3 months for me to even notice this. To me, this is a form of street art, which I think is actually quite nice -- it enhances my experience of my urban environment. If it enhances my experience, then it probably also enhances others' experience as well. I remember the first day that I saw this -- it instantly put a smile on my face. Then, I thought about the multitude of tourists that come by this area, and hope that at least a fraction of them have also seen this and smiled.
