Speaking of signage — I’d like to hear your take on the placement of the Bogue’s sign. Seems to me it should be on the Clairmont Ave. side. Driving east on Clairmont, you can’t see it at all till you’re in the middle of the intersection.
It’s great the sign was preserved–I totally agree with you that it’s hidden to eastbound traffic on Clairmont, which of course is the more prominent street.
Thanks for doing this , Jeremy!
Thanks!
you forgot to mention the strict ‘newbies bring breakfast’ policy the DRC has.
Haha–yes, donuts at a minimum!
