new kensington sign coming

sure, it may only light up with "sington" right now, but all those half-spelled illuminations hovering over adams will be a memory come spring, according to the UT. the old kensington sign is coming down, replaced by the winning, arched version of the two suggested replacements. i voted for the arch because it gives the sign a bit more character, like some of the other neighborhood signs in the sdurban header above. as for the $75K price tag, it's tough to swallow, but there's no denying the identity the sign gives to the neighborhood.

it was interesting to learn the sign's been a part of the community for over 40 years, shining nightly as its namesake declined, only to make a strong comback in the past 10 years. hopefully the new sign will witness the continued revival of kensington for the next 40 years.
