Groovy New Street Signs in the Grove Park Community



The East Charlotte Ninja was out and about recently and noted these very nice street signs added to the tops of the Harris Blvd street signs in the Grove neighborhood.  We think they are great!!  Wouldn't it be nice if all the different areas could be "tagged" this way?  It truly adds a nice touch!!

If you have a nice addition to your East Charlotte neighborhood that you would like East Charlotte Tweets to share please drop us a line at eastclttweets(at)gmail.com.  We would love to share all that is  positive in the East!
