Sign of the times

As a Boston University graduate and Red Sox fan (don't worry the Mariners are still my number 1 team), I'm concerned about a recent development in the saga of the ``Reverse the Curse'' sign along Boston's Storrow Drive.

The sign was originally intended to indicate a ``reverse curve'' along the roadway, but years ago a Red Sox fan painted the now famous message to try to rid the team of Babe Ruth's curse. But after years of replacing the sign with a fresh one, only to have the graffiti reappear, officials are fed up. An article by Boston Globe writer Mac Daniel explains the options:

1. Keep it and keep replacing it when it is defaced.

2. Install a new sign that uses a graphic rather than words since the graffiti hasn't changed the curse yet.

3. Take it down and present it to the Red Sox.

Personally, I'd hate to see the sign go.

Are there any local signs that have special Inland Northwest importance? E-mail me with your thoughts by clicking my name below.
