I’ve walked by this sign thousands of times, and I only noticed it two days ago. You, of course, claim to have known about it for years. But I don’t believe you!

UPDATE: Congratulations to Matt, who answered first that this College Place sign is on the West Broadway façade above West Broadway Cleaners, at Warren. To find out more about College Place—and peruse a cool 1852 map—see this post.
