No street signs, but I've got at least a couple bell atlantic signs hanging 
around. I know I've got at least a dozen of those "US property no 
trespassing" ones in my closet, but those aren't long enough to make into 19" 
rack panel. Those Bell Atlantic/Verizon signs on the other hand..nice 3/16" 
or so plexiglass, and lovely colors on them too. I just made one of them into 
a rack panel, and since it's just clear painted plastic, it can be backlit 
from behind. Finally something _GOOD_ related to verizon, unlike their DSL. 
They're almost the same height as a 2U panel, too.
