the Beguine.
Absolutely! Love it. And it's so optimistic as one would expect from you, dear Laurie.
Begin what?? ;)
I like the contradiction - it makes me a little confused, but that is the essence of that kind of double-communication. I like your photo much more than my own attempt to show the same contradiction today.
I'm with DW today. My immediate thought was Begin the Beguine. And you KNOW I love the RED sign. :)
Hilda - I had to look it up, despite knowing the aforementioned song.

Begin Freeway - Why we have so many highways honoring an Israeli prime minister, I'm not sure.
I think that sigh marks the start of the new "High-Speed Test Zone," a new program set up by the SPPD.

Only you would find this great sign LA! Love it.

It says Begin the 710. A surprise move by the City Council to back the long-awaited freeway.
Thanks dbdubya for Begin the Beguine and Judy for Jo Stafford's version."I'm Beginning to See the Light."
Interesting choice of crimson tide red & white from you today.

I know it has absolutely nothing to do with your photo, but I just wanted to quote FSF and let you know I'm ahead.
Duck Bellis, they're going to throw rotten tomatoes at you, April Fools or not!

Mother, may I? ;-)
As dbdubya said... my first thought also was the Beguine.
And like Hilda and Judy, I also realized that I had no idea what the "Beguine" meant.
Thanks for the info, Judy. And LA: I LOVE this witty shot, whether I know what it means or not!
Not to be confused with LET THERE BE GIN!! (I couldn't resist)
Okay, now I have Begin the Beguine stuck in my head!
Oops, I posted before I finished my thought.
Which now I've forgotten.
Thanks for the kind words - and for the great song!
You're hogging the nutroll.
