No. Wrong font. Wrong content. Come on, folks, think about it. Be serious. Bottom half of Connecticut welcome signs contain, on the left, "Connecticut", "We are full of surprises" (or something like that), and on the right, the name of the governor. Any sign affixed below that is a township name, or other locality that the traveller is entering.
Somewhere beneath all the inane clichés that politicians and the media bandy about, there lies a true Franco-American relationship that stems from a deep appreciation and fascination with each other's language, culture and society. This is where we live, below the radar, exploring the mundane, finding pleasure in the details, and sharing our passion for another culture with our students. We are educators, teaching English in Paris and French in Boston. Trained and training at the Sorbonne and Harvard, respectively, we choose here to let our café conversation spill out onto the sidewalk. Others should feel free to eavesdrop or join the conversation through comments.

The weigh station in the picture is in Greenwich, just after the state line. Greenwich is Bush territory. Is this a real sign??
