Spud’s Thoughts:
I first discovered this group in Chattanooga while I was visiting the city. The concept was so simple – basic signs that simply tell you how far it is to walk somewhere. I found it impacting my own discovery of the town and it would encourage me to go out and discover something new. Their website is a great tool and resource to launch your own signs for your town.
