The new Detroit sign installed along Interstate 94 has sparked a mixed reaction from the public, with many criticizing its design and size compared to initial expectations. It has also inspired several residents in nearby cities to create their own signs.
Whenever I cross the 45th parallel, I kind of geek out. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's a reminder of how much there is to see out in the world. Maybe it's because the sign is a physical testament that I'm in new surroundings. Maybe it's Michigan pride coming through. Where can you get a decent picture next to a 45th parallel sign?
15-year-old James Mond is being forced by his mother to stand on various Tampa, Florida street corners with a sign that details his poor GPA and bad score on an achievement test.
The sign encourages motorists to "Honk if I need an education."
Rhoda Holder says James will have to perform this task for a week, and believes her tough love will prevent her child from becoming a drop out.
