Title: Sign blades shaped like the Sesame Street sign
Post by: bandit957 on October 11, 2017, 03:17:19 PM
Do these really exist? The Sesame Street sign has a very prominent, rounded hump on top. Most cities either have nothing like this or just a small rectangle with the address number (sometimes detached from the rest of the sign). Never a large, rounded hump.

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

It appears that the Sesame Street sign was based off of a hump-back sign, like what's was found in NYC at the time.

Look in the upper left of the screen at 1:14 (i know, it's horrible resolution and - gasp - colorized).
