Signs: street signs, old signs, new signs

Signs have changed a lot over the years, and I've managed to take photos of some of those old, hand painted signs you might miss, along with neon signs that have seen better days. In many cases the signs could be considered art, but I decided to make this separate category instead.

(Not the category you were looking for? The full list is here at the bottom of this page.)
