From a visit to Pittsburgh in 2005, I remember that many of the street signs throughout that city showed not only the block numbers on the cross-street, but also the name of the neighborhood that you were in.
Throughout the country, do you know of any other city where that is done? I know that in some cities, certain neighborhoods will have specially marked street signs, although I don't know of any other cities that do it across the board on their "main" or "official" street signs like Pittsburgh does.

Signage can be inconsistent within a city. Syracuse, NY sometimes has blades with neighborhoods mentioned. Heck, NYC does, too.
Salt Lake City did at one time. I don't know if they still do. The "neighborhoods" were somewhat encompassing, though: Fifth East by Liberty Park (where my grandparents lived) was part of the "Center City Neighborhood" even though it was a mile from downtown.

Heh. There are the Avenues, downtown and then everything else. :D
Lakeland, Florida in some areas features the names of respected neighborhoods.
Green Bay does with several neighborhoods.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/g5K1sjutndG4Sv5F7
Dallas (and at least 1 of its suburbs) doesn't include the neighborhood on the street blade itself, it uses a specially-designed blade sign above where the street blades are installed on the post. The special blade sign shows the neighborhood name (Deep Ellum, Lakewood, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, etc.).
There is a neighborhood in TX that has friends themed streets
Perhaps the most famous example is in Los Angeles, where some street signs will add the logo on top.

I think you want to go to this thread: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=3886.0
Toledo, OH does this with the Birmingham neighborhood where Tony Packo's is, as well as a couple others.
Cleveland is hit-or-miss. It's only done on overhead signage on traffic signal mast arms. When the neighborhood name is in present, it's on a purple background above the street name like this example: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XukyGwdzhXXoKfSj9
Portland (Oregon) mounts neighborhood name blades on top of the street name blade in many neighborhoods, though not everywhere in the city and not at every intersection.
A couple examples from around town:
