Though this poster outside of a church does most of it's speaking for itself, I wanted to highlight the ways in which this communicates the disposition of the surroudning area. Enough people are interested in going to a church like this that it can maintain itself in a town center. More than any sign, this tells people that, even if immigrants are here, plenty of people want them away.

"Bánh mì" is a Vietnamese word for bread or sandwich, but the spelling here omits the accents, which is common in branding. The term "Paris Banh Mi" also suggests a blend of French and Vietnamese culinary influence, reflecting the historical connection between the two cultures.

One of the many foreign food restaurant signs featuring non-english text in downtown Everett. This particular one is for a Japanese ramen restaurant. Whether this does a good job at welcoming or encouraging Asian/Japanese immigrants into the restaurant is debatable, it feels more like a way to feign "authenticity"
