Have you noticed the new street signs on hardy st? Black and Gold street signs with a USM Eagle Head on them. I noticed them at 31st, 34th, and 38th ave..

Probably their way of giving us the bird while they complete the Hardy St. construction.

They're up at 40th Ave., too. I like them, and the new lights are working, too.

Saw them yesterday while driving down Hardy st. Good lookin' signs. Now, they just need to repave the entire stretch from USM all the way down to downtown. Man that road is HORRID!

i like 'em. i just hate that they do construction when everyone is on their way to, or leaving work. if they could just wait to start til 8:30. i would be so happy.

The city is responsible for those and paid extra to have that done.

Here's another one I took at 40th and Hardy.

It shows a lot more of the surroundings, which looks kind of crappy with all the ugly power poles.

Yes, I wish I could copy this to the people who coned off part of Arlington Loop at 28th on Friday morning -- with everybody at FGH & USM having to be at work at 8am. By the way, the new city buses are driven by people who are very, very good at navigating cones! I was impressed watching one of them maneuver.

I like the new street signs. Thanks for showing them to us, Wilebill. :)

Still hard to believe that's the 40th Avenue intersection. Things have sure changed since I lived there.

Its not that big! I do have another camera thats slimmer that I can carry in my purse. Its a Sony too. And PINK!! LOL I tend to only buy Sony cameras. My mini dv camcorder is Sony. I can use the same memory stick in all of them so its convenient :smt023

That camera would be better if you didn't need that gigantic key to turn it on.

The guys at the city traffic engineering had that done and paid extra for those signs to be made that way. Thought it would be cute to make them blue and red, but decided against that. :)
