Whit J. Lettering/Words (5)

1. "University of Florida" This is all over Gainesville but I specifically mean the sign on 34th & Hull Road (because it's huge). I chose it because UF has become so iconic. Being here in Gainesville and attending the University of Florida is something I take for granted. I forget how difficult it is to become a gator and how many students do not get accepted each year.
2."Doughnuts" This is on the Krispy Kreme sign on 13th. I chose it because for a while now the sign is only half lit up, so it says "Doug". It never fails to make me laugh. If you're having a bad day, drive by.
3. "Salty Dog Saloon" (sign on University) I chose this because it makes me miss my cohort. A group of us used to go after class on fridays this past spring. I loved starting my weekend with a bunch of friends all laughing and being together. If you're 21 and up check it out, they really do have the best happy hour in Gainesville.
4. "No Right Turn On Red" (the corner of 13th & University) I hate this sign. I chose this because I understand we need to be safe drivers and be careful. However, it takes me forever to get onto 13th if it's the morning. This sign was chosen strictly on frustration.
5. "The Swamp" (in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium) For those who don't know it was Spurrier who coined the term "the swamp" in 1991. I chose it because this fall, that notorious phrase will have been around for 20 years. These past 20 years our football team has won game after game in The Swamp. How could any opponent NOT be afraid of "The Swamp?"
