    Maybe the street painter is a fan of Digital Underground.

    Wow. Seems like a trend.

    Same thing was just spotted in Stockton a week ago. [link]

    And here’s another, from somewhere in the south, with the sign painter STILL in the picture.

    As for what message they could be trying to send… via Wikipedia:

    Saturn Orbiter/Titan Probe, later officially named Cassini-Huygens
    Scared of the Police, a song by the British rock band Reuben
    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a book series and later a film franchise
    Song of the Paddle, a "book" and a "website" for canoeists. As an acronym it most often refers to the website.
    Sins Of The Past, in finance.
    Sum of the Parts, in valuation.
    Stones Of The Past.
    Sex Offender Treatment Program, program in various prison systems
    Seat of the Pants
    Shadows of the Past (California history reenactment group)
    Sheraton on the Park (hotel in Sydney, Australia)
    Sound Of the Police (song)
    Sounds Of The Past (vintage motorcycle racing series)
    Speed of Thought Players (Providence, Rhode Island improv comedy group)
    Split Option Training Platoon
    State of the Planet (Science Magazine series)
