LA Neighborhood Signs Update #1

So far, in the last few days, there has been a great response to the LACN Call to Action #1: to take pictures of the official LA City Neighborhood Signs (that's the blue signs with the City Seal on them).

You've captured an impressive list of signs so far for the Flickr Group (join it!) -we're almost a quarter of the way to getting at least one image of each of the estimated 180 signs.


Here's what's been uploaded so far:
Angeles Mesa
Arlington Park
Arts District
Artists District
Atwater Village
Chesterfield Square
Crenshaw District
Echo Park
Fashion District
Gallery Row
Happy Valley
Hermon
Historic Core District
Historic Filipinotown
Jefferson Park
King Estates
Koreatown
Leimert Park
Lincoln Heights
Little Armenia
Melrose Hills
North University Park
Old Bank District
Sherman Oaks
Silver Lake
St. Andrews Square
Studio City
Toy District
University Expo Park West
Valley Glen
Virgil Village
West Adams
Wilshire Center
Windsor Square

And thanks to Will Campbell for snapping the first (hopefully of many) "City of Los Angeles" signs (as seen above).

If nothing else, through this process, we will all work on creating the definitive list of LA City official Community Name signs. There may be one or two out there not on this list, so hopefully, that will be revealed. (Hopefully everyone posting to the Flickr group is geo-tagging their photos so that when we look at the Flickr map, they all show up.)

So, this weekend, go out and snap a shot of your local neighborhood signs!

How can we tell without trying to read all of those pics which are left?

There will be an update at the end of the week with what's left to capture. Stay tuned and keep the signs coming. (Over 50 more have been added since this post was originally posted.)
