I woke up this morning to beautiful, shiny new STREET SIGNS on my tiny side street in Tarlıbası. Big pink, red and shiny signs! I thought maybe it was a fluke, but as I was walking to work I noticed ALL the side streets had signs! I am impressed! Not to mention that I learned my street is not called what I thought it was!

How about your neighborhood?

I first noticed them pop up in Gungoren a few weeks ago. They're kinda tiny but certainly an improvement over nothing at all.

Not in my neighbourhood, but I started noticing them a few weeks ago. Now they appear everywhere.

A result of Islamists running local government ?

They do run Beyoglu, and not long ago we in Tunel got new street numbers-- which were totally different from our original street numbers. Our old street number signs are still tacked to the building, so I never know what to tell the delivery people. Our water still comes to #61 Blahblah Sokak but our pizza only comes if we say #30 Blahblah sokak. When I first told the pizza man #61, I saw him driving his bike in circles around the neighbourhood looking for it, going past the flat at least 4 times before I was able to get his attention through the window. I still don't know what my official address is.
