You know, there has been music made after 1975 (other than Billy Joel). Just poking at ya. Love the blogs. Wow, first you brought up Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah and now the 5 Man Electrical Band.

Especially on highways, there should be more specific signs. My complaint is when I see a sign directing me where I want to go, then I don’t see another sign for miles.

If they do go that route (no pun intended), I hope they listen to you and come up with more visible signage. My favorite is when a road splits into three and you have about 500 feet to make a 3 lane switch to get on the road you need. All of this while driving at 55 and keeping an eye on other drivers.

Some have Michigan Avenue addresses, even though their entrance is on a side street. It is all about show. I also am very specific when I give guests expressway directions. Chicago roads are confusing and construction is constant. I get people all the time at the hotel asking for various addresses.

If stadium names etc can have a corporate name attached for millions, why not streets? This will certainly add to the fun for us all.

There are too many corporate street names, fancy addresses and honorary street signs. I get upset with street names.

Wow you reached back for that one. Coincidentally, my wife and I were just talking about this on a recent road trip. Even with GPS, better signage would be very helpful. The 5 Man Electrical Band?
