So no, I don't think that any of the street names are actually funny. :)<BR/><BR/>Well, except NE 6th Ave. Whoever came up with that one was quite the comedian!

Nicely done. The photos of the MLK blade are particularly nicely done.<BR/><BR/>So, "Irving" is funny-ha-ha, not funny-strange?

Don't worry, though—it's not an imposition by any means, since you know I enjoy this nerdery as much as you do.<BR/><BR/>Today I just shot the signs right around my office: (NE) 6th, Multnomah, Hassalo, Holladay, Grand and MLK Jr. Tonight or soon thereafter, I'll upload them to Blogger, Flickr or another free image host, and send you the image URLs.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I once created a blog with the intention of displaying Funny Street Names, and not just those around this area. I haven't launched it yet, but you can take a look <A HREF="http://streetnames.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">right here</A> to see what I'm talking about.stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332368314010617781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-1139074939013380952006-02-04T09:42:00.000-08:002006-02-04T09:42:00.000-08:00Are you talking about those big box-shaped signs, ...Are you talking about those big box-shaped signs, they're black or really dark brown, attached underneath the signals?<BR/><BR/>(Tried to find an example of one on a Google image search; <A HREF="http://static.flickr.com/12/95377669_f73340a84a_o.jpg" REL="nofollow">this</A>, <A HREF="http://static.flickr.com/41/95377668_5123012bfe_o.jpg" REL="nofollow">this</A> and <A HREF="http://static.flickr.com/26/95377667_2b8ead4742_o.jpg" REL="nofollow">this</A> are the closest I could get)stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332368314010617781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-1138990047206776242006-02-03T10:07:00.000-08:002006-02-03T10:07:00.000-08:00Stan:Your offer is very generous and I accept.

Let me know which streets or intersections and I can help contribute some of my own Sign Blade Photo Nerdery™ to your cause (though on weekends, on account of the still-short daylight hours).stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332368314010617781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189482.post-1138596710457502452006-01-29T20:51:00.000-08:002006-01-29T20:51:00.000-08:00Sorry to you haven't been feeling well.

However, you have some things going for you that many others do not - and it will pay off in the long term. You have a genuine love and talent for what you do, the ability to network, a knack for writing, and a positive outlook.Radio Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05103069121992158596noreply@blogger.com
