On the road outside my daughter's nursery is painted 保育園アリ. I guess this is a form of ある, but what's it called, and why is あり used not ある？
Answer
The old 終止形 of ある was あり. That means that you could end sentences with あり.
Nowadays, あり is to be considered as the antonym of なし.
保育園あり -- There is a nursery
保育園なし -- There is no nursery
