No, I could easily be misremembering the colors.AntiM wrote:I've seen ornage poles with black lettering.

The street names and addresses are written on these poles, which I have never seen taken. The poles are white, the names (letters) are written vertically in orange.
When people tape flyers over those, I move them to a place where the address is not covered up.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Re: The Map! The Map!
I am glad to hear there is another place to look for the address on a street sign. I'll be sure to look for it this year.

Perhaps next year.
The street names are in alphabetical order so that emergency responders can navigate easily to a scene from what I have heard. Imagine if you had to memorize a new crazy order of names from Esplanade out every year. Standardization helps for efficient operations. Reading a map takes time and sometimes time is critical in an emergency.....Sometimes not.
I only had the planet thing down at the end of the week just in time for the signs to come down.
Ok Ok.......

Re: The Map! The Map!
I had no idea I would be so excited over the street names being announced - feels more official every day that I'll be there this year! Woo Hoo!
Smile, who cares if you don't have all your teeth.

Savannah, I can't believe I never told you about the orange markers on all the intersections. I guess since you have things so well in hand that I thought it inconceivable that you might not know this tidbit of knowledge.

Well, I'm rarely lost, but now I'm going to be even more insufferable.
