Brooklyn Signage--sign, sign, everywhere's a sign...

Subject: Brooklyn Signage--sign, sign, everywhere's a sign...

A new thread from ME since I love to collect interesting, intreging and odd signage from around the Boro. From my own 'hood to Ft. Greene to Coney Island (though we'll be starting a Coney Thread), a signs are welcome.

And the first...right from my own 'nabe:



4th Ave and 24th St., Greenwood Hts.

Subject: Borro Park pic

Borro Park, side street off of McDonald Ave.
(wild mosaic tiles...looks like a former municipal building)

Subject: Coney Island Pic

Food Vendor's stall on the boardwalk near Dino's
(the sign says it all, it was a good day )

you probably already know it
but here's a recent comprehensive bit of photoblogging of 4th Ave PS

Yep, had a few conversations with the guy. He does really nice work!

I will add that he needs to go further south on 4th...to fill out the Ave's best and worst spots

Subject: Ho-gie truck on PPW.

Wow, totally nutz!

What's in that bread?

i have a tendency to read high cheese stake steaks

Those Bimbo signs crack me up. They're all over Mexico.

Flexichick, The letters that jump out at me first...geeze, see, what crappy sign!

ah, I thought it was some sort of online speak that I don't understand (like "pawned").

Thanks for the clarification.

I do love me some cheesesteak.

clothing boutique in south slope before brand revamp—i had no idea bk=brooklyn

evn btr!

i read that as "4play ok".

heh.

off topic since the pic wasn't taken in brooklyn.

Shame on you...not in Bklyn

Still very funny.

May as well expand to street/traffic signs, right? This one, in Park Slope, has been slightly edited by person or persons unknown.



This is to say nothing of all the Times Square Shuffle signs in Manhattan!

Edit: I took of these pictures ("Blow Horn in Anger" and "The Shuffle").

beefy looking key


Locksmith on 9th St close to Van Brunt Post Office in PS

Got that?


Somewhere in Red Hook

Do they have a door with a "YES" on it?

I don't think they do. In addition to that, they also need "maybe."

outside of nym hospital

Really more of a "how" than a "what" on 7th Ave & 3rd St.:

I also read it as "high cheese, stake steaks"
Why on Earth do they have that sign about "Shoot hoops not guns" Does the cheese steak place have basketball hoops indoors?

STELLA, the answer to your question is found within this thread:
