I know exactly where that sign is located on Front Street in Traverse City. That is about 40 Miles from my front dooron U.S. 31, and I get down there occasionally. I have what I think is a humorous story about Traverse City. I had heard that there was a new mexican restaurant down there named Casa del Norte, so I decided to give it a try. I drove down to TC and was looking for this restaurant when I thought I saw the sign. But instead of Casa del Norte, my eyes saw Casa del Morte.

I grew up in Traverse City, on West Front near Madison. I'm trying to picture where this guy's place is but the photos aren't enough for me to recognize where exactly.

My dad served two terms on the city commission in the late 60's and early 70's. It was he and a couple other members who changed the face of downtown forever. They were the ones who developed and implemented the plan for creating the "loop" downtown. Front St. one-way westbound and State St. one-way eastbound. Kids in my generation simply called it "The Gut".

Cruising "The Gut" was a big part of our weekend activities. When Michigan went to the 18-year old drinking age...well...you can imagine what that was like!

He should consider 5 individual signs the maximum size and place them on the roof of his garage......
