Signs of California
- Share via
Reading the article “Lack of Hospitality,” by Arnold Stone (June 24), reminded me of our drive last July from Vancouver, B.C., through Washington, Oregon and into California.
There were many helpful directions and signs for tourists all through Washington and Oregon, but the moment we crossed the border into California, the first sign we saw was “$500 Fine for Littering.” Very few directional signs were evident along the California coast. Winding through the hills near Bodega Bay, we were strictly on our own, fervently hoping that we were heading for San Francisco.
No welcome station at the California border is necessary, but more hospitality and signs would be appreciated.
