Invest In Syracuse University-Area Street Signs
Cause clearly they're gonna need to keep making them:

The person who posted the pic swears he's not the one who makes you scream out into the night when you can't find that killer party on Clarendon cause you can never remember which one is Clarendon and which one is Ostrom.
Not sure if those are blank spots for incoming signs so valuable they must get prime real estate on the wall (Mt. Olympus Drive?) or street signs so nefarious that to know which one they are would be too much to bear so they're turned upside down.

Street Signs
The blank spots are for Ackerman Ave., Redfield Pl., and another Comstock Ave if I had to guess. If this game is anything like the McDonald’s monopoly game than this guy is never going to get Redfield even if he calls his cousin in Arizona thinking they disperse the pieces across the country.

My senior year I was an RA.
Two of my more mischievous residents came to my room about 2 days before the end of my college career. They said “come with us.” I did. Went the their room and they asked if I would do shots with them. “Sure” I said…and why the hell not? A bottle of Bacardi Razz later they looked at each other, nodded, and picked up knapsacks and said “Let’s GO!” My half-drunk face said “where are we going?” and one of them said “You’ll see” whilst waving a ratchet set around.
What proceeded to happen was one of the most intense cases of gross snatch-n-grab the Hill has ever known. As we helped hold each other up to un-bolt signs we were ever aware of two things: Cop cars on regular patrol, and the fact that signs were waaayyyy to long to fit in the knapsacks. We ran from street to street, sign to sign, up and down the hill…and collected about 12-15 signs. Including my final insult to the Office of Residence Life (or “Oral” as I liked to call them) by jacking the International Learning Community sign, which is right on Euclid, and then taking the sign for the old Chabbad house on Osturm on the way back to Campus.

DAMN.
I was hoping to get that pushed through this year.
I count my blessings every time I see stupid party pics that I graduated the year before Myspace and Facebook broke out.

My friend and I once stole the young Republicans’ 3 foot tall elephant from the Schine student center. That was a hard sign to conceal.

Nothing like incriminating yourself by taking a picture of stolen property. Better hope none of Syracuse’s finest read the blog. :-P

My last day
Well he is missing redfield because its hanging in my room and it was the last one left this year. Plus my friends and I got Marshall St and Walnut Ave and Place which are much more badass. As well as Ostrom Place and Harrison which again are clearly more badass since they are on campus and thus harder to take.

Couldn't find an Ackerman
Because you have to be waiting when they put it up in order to get one before someone else

1998
Like when all of the Ackerman signs were stolen and replaced with signs that said ‘Poop St.’?

I wouldn;t trade...
…my stolen ‘Dome Parking’ sign for all of those signs.

Oh man, I love those signs.
With the simple yet unmistakable drawing of the dome? Awesome.

What... no Ackerman?
I myself have a Harrison Street sign but for obvious reasons.
My roommate once drunkenly pulled the entire Ackerman sign with the poll out of the ground and brought it home. We all came down stairs in the morning to see it sitting leaning on our couch in the living room. It did not go over too well when the landlord dropped by unanounced later that afternoon.

Oh 829
What a magical place
Go, fight, and win.

829 was a pit
The funniest moment of that house was the sewage party, when there had been a huge rain storm and the sewars backed up into the basement about a foot deep. Guys were just pissing off the basement steps instead of going outside in the rain.
So now think of all those hook ups you watched on the couches in the basement and know that they were soaked in sewage for about 2 days in 1997.

Tequila Slam Jam, anyone?
Still partial to the 214/708 corridor, though.

The corridor was nice.
And I had the best two hours of my radio career when broadcasting on WERW with call ins from the Zima Train and others from the Slam Jam Dos.

my buddies stole all the street signs around euclid and put them under glass making an awesome beer pong table. One of them was industrial design so he made it look real fancy. It was great.

Fenway
I remember when you took the back roads back from around carrier circle to campus there was a Fenway Dr or Fenway Rd. Everyone from New England had that sign in their room.
And for all you younger guys, we used to have students who stayed at the front door of dorms all night to sign kids in when they came in after 1AM. My freshman year, my roomate did this job on Thursday nights to Friday morning. As I’m getting up for class Friday morning he comes into the room after staying at his post all night and goes, “Well, that was interesting.” Apparently at around 4 AM a guy on our floor signed himself and a street sign in. But he couldn’t get the sign off the pole so he basically yanked the entire pole out of the ground and dragged it back to the dorm.

No one else noticed this!?
The signs are placed on the wall like a map. The signed turned backwards are place holders for Ackerman and Redfield. Best idea ever, who ever decided to do this!

Nice catch on the map.
I forget, are there signs on South?

Color me not impressed . . .
My buddy bet me I couldn’t heist the Sweet Sixteen NCAA banner hanging over the Carrier Dome Gate closest to the physics building. So I showed up to campus at 5:30am dressed as a physical plant worker, scaled a ladder, pulled it up over the gate, set it up again, and proceeded to take down the banner. Halfway into the job, Public Safety drove through and slowed down . . . I gave them a friendly wave, they waved back, and the banner’s been covering a wall in my weight room ever since!
In a FAR more drunken episode . . . the University Flag from Hendricks Chapel, a letter from a random frat-house, an inflatable Budweiser Blimp, and a series of random party pics that I proceeded to place under every windshield on Walnut. Stupid? Yes.

One night we went out and stole a bunch of the signs. The next year, one of our parties got busted and the damn cops came in and saw the signs. I’ll never forget what those bastards said: “We can either take these signs with us, or we can ticket and fine your asses.”
