The Original Church Street Bridge
Gah–reminds me of our lame motto: “A city of homes, schools and places of worship.” Yeah, unlike every single other city in the country.
Ever notice how “and businesses” is conspicuously absent? Just sayin!
Nice photo. Can’t stand the motto. BLAND.
I like it. (Not our motto, the photo…)
Oh, I agree that the photo is nice.
DM, we need a Decatur motto contest!
Was it you or Dec Tok Repub that voted for “Hippie Payday!”? Just checking because I still like it.
gotta say, our fair city’s signage is a hot mess. it’s the love child of the camelot fan club and the east german color committee.
Free the old signage!
New signage with it weird abbreviations, suburban styling, and dull colors depresses me.
Reminds me of what you’d find in a suburb called Hickory Estates where all the trees were cleared to put in the subdivision.
(And get a new motto)
I agree the abbreviations on the “wayfinding” signage are bizarre. Why not bring the font size down a tad and use the whole word? I hate those signs.
nice pic. crummy signage.
If anyone could post pix of the old signage vs the new signage, I’d love to see it. I can’t remember enough to judge the difference. I know I liked the multicolor version, kind of a preschool, primary color motif.
I’ve always assumed the new signage is the product of design-by-committee. Anybody know for sure?
New Decatur Motto…more typography police per capita.
Mo, or Po-mo?
As far as I know, that triangle of land (with the sign et al) is not within Decatur city limits. I know the Parkwood neighborhood association (W and E Parkwood, Upland Rd, Parkwood Lane and Wimberly Ct) maintained it for years. Anyone have any idea how Decatur assumed responsibility?
