Also Kaunas 🇱🇹 street name plates made my heart beat faster! Looks like there are two letter widths for shorter/longer street names. And a cedilla-like ogonek.

“Dzidzilalich” has been proposed as an honorary name for the new Elliott Way in downtown #Seattle, and for Alaskan Way from Elliott Way to S Dearborn Street. I'm glad to see the name return to our waterfront, but couldn't we have done better than "Elliott Way" for the new road? https://www.writesofway.org/dzidzilalich-return-seattle-waterfront-honorary-name-elliott-way-alaskan-way/ #Lushootseed #Duwamish #Suquamish #Muckleshoot #StreetName #StreetNames #NativeNames #NativeAmerican
