Show us where you are from:

1) Must be a photo showing the name of the city or town you currently live in.
2) City sign should be as close to a highway-standard city-limit sign if possible.
3) If your town does not use city limit signs (shame on them), then a fancy-schmancy wooden or stone sign amidst lots of landscaping "welcoming" drivers into your town is acceptable. 

Let's see how many of these photos we can create and how long this thread can go.

Honestly, I wish I could say I live in Toronto, but I live 1 km north of the border. :P

The one near my place looks like this:


But, this is where I actually live.
Standard welcome sign:

but this photo is outdated, so replace TOWN with CITY.

This is what I have near my place:

For an oldie-but-goodie, a 2001 county line sign from where I now live.  This one was on Carlin Springs Rd. northbound, north of Columbia Pike (VA 244).   I always liked the retro look, with the A like in the posters for "A Clockwork Orange".  Alas, the county now has a drab logo, and even drabber county line signs on freeways, not worth photographing.

Since we live in a planned development in Fairfax County, here's the sign at the entrance to the area:

"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

As far as I know this is the only standalone Fredericksburg "city limits" sign that isn't an entering/leaving sign that is common throughout Virginia...
