Um, why is it named that?
:rolleyes:
According to Wikipedia (that fount of all knowledge), it is named after Abner Weed, a local pioneer and lumber magnate.

Huh, this is certainly most interesting.. But this thread lost its life a few posts ago.
:ninja: (He's the one to blame)
voyager, you aren't aware of the weed or college sign outside of Weed, CA? They took it down cuz I kept getting stolen and they replaced it with something.

^ Thaaaaaaats the one!
I want to live there! :-D
They took that sign down, though and replaced with something else. I guess they thought it got stolen too much.

Although it still says College and Weed in it, the other stuff makes it not as appealing.
Apparently the sign hasn't been stolen since then.
I just went to Weed and saw the sign above...
I also love their welcome sign: "Weed like to welcome you"
^ Hehe

Glad you could find a pic of that sign unblemished as that. Now, it's so covered with graffiti and stickers you can barely read it.
For the person who said he wants to live here, one winter would cure you of that. Horizontal rain and snow and 70 MPH sustained winds in most storms are no walk in the park.
