doesnt nyc have those itnernationally recognisable signs with the hand icons and stuff now as opposed to the "english only" walk and dont walk signs?
cshrem: 31st Mar 2005 - 02:29 GMT
yes they do, I live in NYC. I took one of the old "dont walk" signs when the man was taking them down, and i'm curious to know how much its worth
Peter: 31st Mar 2005 - 15:15 GMT
probably not much, as there are zillions of em, and its only a disused sign after all...
but yeah nyc did switch over to the hand/silhouette format over the past coupla years.

email me (my username above) @mac.com
