No green and white street signs on a pole for this intersection! This brick pylon with stone street signs is in the little town of Boggstown, Indiana, south east of Indianapolis.

Yes probably more than a pole…

You have to have good eyes to read those signs.

The tough one to read is Meridian St. Thanks for the share…

Indianapolis… that takes me back; 30 yrs ago, I spent two weeks in high summer there, in the Carmelite monastery, very open-minded they were – somebody in conservative Wales later said they were ‘way-out Carmelites’. I think their building was sold a few yrs back and the remaining Srs have moved elsewhere. I liked the Children’s museum in Indianapolis. 🙂

The Children’s Museum is a marvelous place. Not sure about the history of the monastery. Have to look that up. Thanks for sharing.

as for the monastery, all I remember it was a huge building, made to look like early 19th century and something in Avila; purpose-built as a Monastery. The10 or so Srs were rattling around in there. The part of the architecture I liked best was the court yard. Could well be a hotel or nursing home now. Just hope they improved the air conditioning 🙂

got curious myself and found on the globalsisters.org web site an interview from 2016 with 5 remaining Sisters from Indianapolis (and a picture of the building). 4/5 I do remember; nice to see them and ‘doing without’. 🙂

It is an unusual sign, but I wonder if anyone notices it and realized what it is. There is a very little chance that someone will ever steal it and have it pinned on their wall.

Ture, that’ll be tough to steal! 🙂

I wonder how old that thing is. It appears to have some age to it from the looks of the blocks the names are carved into.

I’m guessing it is from the 1920’s. But I don’t know for sure.

I think that would be a fair guess.

Likely a great deal of history behind this sign and this little town. Hope you are both well, Maj and Sher. 🙂

It looks sturdy enough to stand up against being hit by a car. Someone mowed our road sign down with a car last week.

Road signs seem second only to mailboxes as the #1 vehicle target.
