Around Claremont: February 2012 Archives
A few days after we mocked the two directional signs for the 10 Freeway seen a few feet apart on Foothill Boulevard east of Towne Avenue in Claremont, they were both replaced with a new dual sign directing motorists to both the 10 and 210 freeways.
It's double the information in half the number of signs -- a nice upgrade. Haven't noticed if they've since taken down the spare pole.
The new Super King market, and its surrounding Claremont Promenade center off the 10 Freeway at Indian Hill Boulevard in Claremont, has a super-sized sign, seen here in an eastbound view. (Thank goodness traffic was light as I slowed to snap this through my windshield.)
Although the Super King sign may appear more super than the Norms' sign installed last year, the dimensions show there's no contest. Norms is 99 feet high while Super King's is a mere (ahem) 80 feet.
