Title: Cities with unique font on a city limits sign
Post by: Flint1979 on May 13, 2020, 11:14:27 AM
Several years ago Saginaw changed their signs to this font in the first picture and some of the signs have been replaced with newer signs so we have two different fonts on the city limits signs. Any other city that does this?

This is on EB Weiss Street at Mackinaw if anyone is looking for the Google Street view.

Here's a better picture of the same sign just another area of town.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200513/611c6ceef1f56b06d7b021ed34ead2c3.jpg)

Taken off my grandparents' home movie (1955) of Grand Marais, Mich. sign along M-77.    The font is the old "Michigan" style, not unique then, but increasingly rare in 2020.

This is the standard non-interstate town line sign in Connecticut (coming in from New Britain):

I wish they were more like this (coming in from Newington, with the town of Berlin only being 500 feet west of this!):
