My guess is that someone at one of the few operating stores noticed a stop sign needed replaced and simply bought one and mounted it on the old pole.

I kind of wonder what the thought process was behind it. "Hey, let's comply with the new standard by using mixed-case names, but violate a long-existing standard by putting it in Helvetica!"

Well, until recently, there were very few standards for street name signs. They weren't considered a "traffic control device" and as such every city pretty much did what they wanted--there were parts of Gahanna, in fact, where the name was literally painted on a wooden post sticking out of the ground.
As for the city seal--some places do it and some don't. It's listed as an "Option" in the MUTCD.

I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I like Old English Thompson, for some reason. It's got just the right level of absurdity without being 100% nonsensical.

Personally I've been looking at gender-related stuff for the past half hour or so.
I think I would find transgender stuff fascinating even if I didn't have a personal investment in it.

I don't know.
I was thinking earlier about this time in elementary school when a classmate called me "half-boy, half-girl". I think he meant it as an insult (albeit a "friendly teasing" kinda insult), but I liked it because that was how I thought of myself and hearing someone else say that seemed to validate it.

Oh, right. That's not what I was getting at. I was just relating an anecdote of mine that your post reminded me of.
You know what's weird? I felt less girly when I was totally obsessing over My Little Pony a few months ago than I did before or after. I guess it just goes to show that interests don't necessarily reflect one's gender identity.

I found this kinda weird. A photo of the sign, taken in 2003, uploaded in 2008 after they haven't used that logo for about 2 years. And it looks like an official CML account, too. (Though it's hard to tell)

^ The software interprets both a <br> tag and a line break in the HTML as a line break. Which is annoying and wrong, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Hell if I know.
I'm currently checking my bank account to see if I have enough to pay my library fine so I can check out a copy of Alice in Wonderland.
...Though it might actually be cheaper just to buy a copy of the book, huh?

I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Now I'm reminded vaguely of how I spent the last several months of 2004 thinking Brandy & Mr. Whiskers was the best thing ever. I haven't seen it in ages, though
doesn't help that it hasn't been anywhere since 2006

I'm trying to remember what I was obsessed with in 2004, and I'm not coming up with a whole lot.
I think that was around the time I discovered the existence of roadgeek websites, though. By accident, too--someone on the Snopes.com forums made reference to ArizonaRoads.com, so I went there and found myself taken aback that someone cared as much about roads as I did.
That's one of the cool things about the internet--no matter how weird you are, there's always someone just as weird as you.

I'm not tired either, and it's 4:30 in the morning.
And my mother wants us to go out at 11:00 tomorrow...I'll let her do the driving, since by then I'll be sleepy as fuck

Also, while looking up Brice Road pictures I found this: The new style of street sign used by the City of Reynoldsburg. I don't like it.
(Bonus points if you got distracted by the painted-over "ink well" sign)
Still, it's better than Gahanna's signs. (Ignore the wonky-ness of the photo)
Also I was wondering whether or not it was standard practice to put the city seal on signage. You are contagious
As for the city seal--some places do it and some don't. It's listed as an "Option" in the MUTCD.
Also I'm trying to think happy thoughts now
God knows I've had my share of emo moments lately.
Though for some reason the "chronic crying" people providing the Earth's water on I Am Weasel seemed Old English Thompson-esque to me.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
(This is the style of sign almost all the other branches currently have)
