Twin Cities Traffic Signs

I live in St Paul, but this is the Twin Cities, really just one metropolitan area. I have photos of traffic signs from each city for the first of the month theme day. The Minneapolis signs below are nestled among the debris of the 35W bridge, upside down and currently, not of much use. The whole scene is other worldly and the bridge is not of much use.


These signs are on Summit Avenue to announce the bike lanes which are used mainly in the summer, and, below that sign, the reminder for parkers on the street when the snow plows are to be expected after those four inch snows. These are fairly representative of typical activities in St Paul, my fair city.


I played some tennis today with the older gentlemen. We started at 9 a.m. and lasted about 90 minutes. That compares, not well at all, to the four hours that James Blake and Fabrice Santoro played Thursday night in the US Open. Today's big news was the ouster of Maria Sharapova.

It was, and continues to be, top-notch weather here in River City.

The 35W sign is probably the best sign photo I've seen for theme day. (CNN had a bit on the re-openning of the 10th Avenue bridge this morning.) Your other photo was pretty amusing. And your 90 minutes on the tennis court is longer than I biked yesterday, so no apologies, please. SS
