I was on my way to a luncheon at the home of a friend of a friend today. While looking for the address I came across this great street name sign. Of course, I had to get out of the car and take a photo. As soon as I left the car and approached the street sign a man came out of a house across from the sign and called to me, "Leave that sign alone!" I told him I was just planning on taking a picture of it and that was all. That mollified him, so I asked if they had had trouble with people defacing the sign. He replied, "No...we have trouble with people stealing it!" He said it had been stolen so many times the county now refused to make a new sign with the name stamped in the metal and just lettered over old street signs.
I wish whoever was in charge of street names way back in the 1920's when my cottage was built would have given the street it's on a name as cool as this one. I also wonder how Willow Witch Road got this particular name. And, I wonder what it takes to get the name of a street changed, or if it even can be?
I have some sleuthing to do!
