When I was a kid some friends of the family were visiting the south eastern United States. While touring one city they came to the intersection of the streets "Jefferson" and "Davis" . Now this was only noted and shared with our family because my dad's name happens to be Jeff Davis. So they brought my dad back a picture of their smiling family standing under the intersecting street signs bearing a close rendition of his name.
Ever since I catch myself seeing signs with "people names" and thinking that I should do as these friends did for my dad so long ago. Occasionally I have done it. A favorite college professor named Earl has a picture of my husband and I standing under the city population sign in the town of Earl, WI. I've seen plenty of other signs with names but usually I start to wonder if everyone would appreciate it or if I'm the only one who'd find it amusing so I don't take the picture. I will admit usually the signs don't work out quite as well as the first story above as to include both the first and last name but sometimes the business bears the name of someone I know who could/should be in that business. As I kept thinking about this I figured a blog might be the place to do it. If people I know happen to have their name on the front of a building, on street sign, or on the side of a passing bus I can take a picture, post it here, and they can find it if they want along with anyone else who happens to stumble along this place can see if I've found them too.
Throughout the rest of the posts I blog I will title each post with the name in the picture. I'll also try to include a little more about where the picture was taken so that you can try to find your name on the list and see where your name is in lights or at least on a sign. Enjoy.
