Glad you are using this forum. I will add the questions to the weekly update. I think it was rediscovered about 15 years ago in a warehouse and replaced in the triangle. Some people didn't like it there so they moved it to Community Center...I'm sure you will find out more.

This sign was originally OVER the white bridge at the far side of Orinda...down by Schezwan.

I believe it was found in a warehouse around the time we became a city. I was chair of decorating the Community Center for our celebration of becoming a city and we used the sign then. Where it was between then and when it was placed in the triangle, I have no idea. I seem to recall that the sign was moved because some thought it was introducing people to the OCC area and they didn't like that. I actually think having it at the library in the center of town is more appropriate Leave a Reply. |
