This "Do Not Enter" sign spent a day or two guarding the excavation at the corner of Clifford, Chestnut and Ship Streets (if three — actually four — streets can form a "corner"). While the sign was in the hole, most motorists still realized that it meant that tsegment of Chestnut is one way. Yes, there were frequent sudden stops, reversals and U-turns in front of 95 Chestnut Street.
Now the construction area has been graded smooth. The holes in the ground have been filled (the ones in the off-street area, NOT the ones in the street). Earth moving equipment has moved off the site.
And the sign has been re-located. See if you can find it in the picture on the right. The new location is so far from the street that cars don't even slow down. They drive north past 95 Chestnut Street, cross the impending reincarnation of Friendship Street and head on to Starbucks or wherever they're going.
