Where’s Waldo? Hiding out behind Home Depot

Tooling westward along Calgary Avenue, my attentive eye (yes, I do pay attention to the road while out with the camera) caught a dark spot on the back of the former Home Depot building. A quick cruise around the back of the parking lot confirmed that something was afoot:

Someone stenciled Waldo on a boarded-up back door. Weird. I’m not sure when someone would get the time to stencil this next to a road that’s become so busy lately, probably in the wee hours of the night or morning. I haven’t found any significance to this particular graphic online, although I have a pretty good idea of what it may mean locally. I have sources everywhere…

This building has been purchased by a group of investors for development, and the latest rumor in the local media is that it could become home to some state government offices. Personally I (and others I have talked to) would like to see it become a Fleet Farm. That would be a welcome addition to Bismarck-Mandan, and the building is already the right color!
