This is the first major sign that greets drivers as they arrive in Washington, DC via the Teddy Roosevelt Bridge.

The first three options lead into that famously tangled mess of highways southeast of the Kennedy Center. The signs themselves could be simplified: first, let's use a consistent font. The two EASTs are clearly different. I would also center them with the numbers in the highway symbols (66 and 50). I would consistently abbreviate Avenue - you see they use Ave with Constitution but spell it out with Independence. I'd always use Ave and keep it on the same line as Independence. Next, there's no need to indicate Downtown under 50 EAST - I'd consider E Street to be closer to downtown anyways.

That boxy truck on the left is used to move the concrete barriers two times every work day. They switch the direction of the middle lane since the traffic flow is lopsided, with more cars driving into the city in the morning and then flocking into Virginia at night. It would be interesting to see whether patterns have normalized as DC experiences a housing boom and Virginia experiences a jobs boom.

As a trained and fervent economist, this (to me) is the *economic* equivalent of having a Bible signed by the Son of the Holy Father!

The Father being Ralph Elliott (of Elliot Wave Principal), and the son being Robert Prechter. Note that Prechter has moved well beyond just Elliott Wave and is the "Holy Father" in Socionomics.

As a derivatives trader I studied and implemented Elliot Wave in my trading decisions...I also bought and read Prechter's books throughout the years.

I was in a position to have some conversations with his firm last week and was sent a signed book for my effort!

Truly the pinnacle of my economic existence!

Had to take this because of the bowling pin sign, 2 ghost signs and part of a mural.

Photographed using the Kodak VR35 K4, and Kodak Ektar 100 film,.

I think it says "Parking only while bowling"

In Hawaii, it's common for folks to make and display "No Spray" signs on their property to prevent government weed-control crews from spraying herbicide on their roadside plantings. I've shot photos of over 30 such signs so far, and I've only covered our neighborhood.

Here's a crude collage of these signs I put together a few months ago.

In 2012 it is very hard to notice any evidence of the American Adventure but like this entrance sign, there is at least still some remains

part of our funny signs in China series.

In a city with very (very) little English signage, this stood out. In enormous letters, it tells you they have good coffee (twice). However, our guide says that it's not a coffee shop, but a seafood store... in Urumqi, which is in the Guinness Book of Records for being the city farthest from the ocean. I guess, in that case, you DO advertise the coffee.

This wasn't marking a street, but rather a private residence.

Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA.

"The sign is much like the moon. It seems close enough at times to reach out and touch, and many try to bike or drive up there, but it always seems to be out of reach. In fact, it was not designed to be reached, only seen. When it was constructed in 1923, it read HOLLYWOODLAND. It was advertisment for a then-opulent subdivision owned in part by move-making mogul Mack Sennet." quotation from the book "Short bike rides. Los Angeles." by Robert Winning.

HOLLYWOODLAND was transformed into HOLLYWOOD in 1949 and replaced in 1978.
