A friend was asking me just recently about the fate of the #10–I knew nothing about it. Looks like I’m going to find out. Thanks!

John –
Being as I live on the route, it’s be nice to have one of those signs hanging in the hallway to my upper flat.
Got any ideas as to who/what office I could contact to see about getting one?

Douglas, John and I asked the workers removing the signs if we could have one, but it turns out MCTS reuses the signs — they are designed to make it easy to reprint with new numbers as bus routes change. Also, they told us they had already fielded a bunch of similar requests for signs that day!
