Challenge: Since today's date (4/14) is a palindrome, post a photo of any road/street sign that contains a palindrome. Numbers and words are both acceptable.

I went with I-35 Exit 232 A on the Johnson/Wyandotte, KS, County line. The 232 is separated from the "A" so it is considered to be on its own. If it read "232A", it would be all one, and therefore not the same forward and backward.

Feels like a bit of a cheat, with a palindrome repeated to form a larger palindrome on the bottom row.  Avon, Connecticut.  September 12, 2009.
