Thursday Challenge—"signs"

I took a picture of this sign in its original location
back in October or November 2001 and used it in the
second post of this blog, in 2008.  Shortly after I took that
picture, I happened to be on the promenade as city
workers were replacing the original wooden signs with
plastic ones.  I talked (flirted, cajoled) one of them into giving me 
that very sign and it's been hanging in my house ever since.
