  1. Does your community have a sign at its entrance? (Ann Zabaldo)

Ann,
We do have a sign at the driveway to our complex. It just lists the street 
address and says "Pleasant Hill Cohousing", we also have a smaller one just 
behind it that says "Slow, children playing" that our kids painted. Once you 
come into the complex and park we have a larger sign that has a map on it, 
laying out the locations of our 8 buildings and the numbers. This is helpful 
for visitors and delivery folks.

Sinage. 
Sineage?  
Sinege?  
Spelling anyone???

Placards or signs that contain directions or information is what I'm talking 
about.

Here at Takoma Village in Washington, DC we are once again revisiting the use 
or non use of the Kiosk that people see as they come into the community that 
announces "Takoma Village."    Some people think it's tacky.  Some love it 
because it's quirky.  Some don't want any signs, some want a low sign, some 
just want the street number on the wall facing the street.  Some people use the 
bulletin boards on the kiosk a LOT and some never use them.  

On my visits to various cohousing communities I've seen some lovely signs 
greeting people at the entrance.  And maybe some other limited information 
about the neighborhood e.g. date founded.

Does your community have a sign?

Other than the name of your community, what other information is on the sign?

Is there a graphic?

Many thanks for any info you can share.  :-)

If you have a photo -- cool -- you can send it to me off line at the email 
address above.

Double thanks!
