If you&#8217;ve lived in Fort Wayne in the last 20 or so years &#8211; minimum &#8211; you can probably figure out the name from the lettering. \u00c2\u00a0It&#8217;s a very distinctive style of lettering that a sign board company used to use. \u00c2\u00a0The company, BTW, is still in business, although I think it&#8217;s a different name now. \u00c2\u00a0Anyway, if you can figure that out, you have the last name of the person.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->I don&#8217;t know what the story is here, perhaps a reader can enlighten me. \u00c2\u00a0There is another one of these signs, except this one looks more like an official street sign on the coner of Wells and Spring Streets. \u00c2\u00a0It&#8217;s been there quite a few years. \u00c2\u00a0I took a photo of it in the summer of 2007 when I noticed it while waiting for the light. \u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;ll be surprised if this one lasts the week.<\/p>\n<p>Just one of those things, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, Mr. Postman, if you happen to be reading this, please make sure you always check the lock on our mailboxes! \u00c2\u00a0I went to get my mail Saturday afternoon and when I swung my mailbox door open, the whole row tilted down. \u00c2\u00a0(I live in an apartment building which has those rows of metal boxes with a hinge on the bottom so they swing out allowing the postman or woman to fill the mail from the top.) \u00c2\u00a0Judging from my neighbor&#8217;s boxes, either no one received any mail Saturday, or we all did and someone stole it. \u00c2\u00a0Please, er, well, address this issue if you would!<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The above sign has been taped, which I&#8217;m guessing is probably some sort of federal violation, to the side of the mailbox at the Berry and Ewing Street intersection.
