It is the little things of an area that always intrigue me. Since I moved back to Bremerton and restarted my real estate career with blogging I have wanted to take a picture of the “Welcome to Bremerton” sign that greets those leaving Highway 3 at Kitsap Way. I always thought it nice for a city to have these types of signs. There is one on Wheaton Way in East Bremerton too and I am sure a few more I haven’t seen.
I just kept putting off my stop to the sign because it was in need of cleaning. One day I even took a jug of water and a Magic Eraser with me so that I could clean off the green mossy stuff that grows on stuff here in the Bremerton area of the Kitsap Peninsula. I pulled in the parking lot of the Dairy Queen across the street but just didn’t have the nerve to go and clean the sign! I do some pretty kooky things around town getting pictures for my blog and all I could think of was two words, “Crazy Lady”.
I spent 3 weeks up in Alaska the end of July and into August and on my way home after my return flight I turned off Highway 3 onto Kitsap Way and there it was – the sign – all shiny and new! A new color, a new design and WOW how cool!! This is the style of the new signs downtown around the Bremerton Boardwalk. I was just too excited. So after a couple of weeks getting back into the groove of business I made a special stop to take the picture. I know this sounds silly – but this is where I live and I love it!
