I noticed what I thought was an anachronism in a movie supposedly
depicting the 1930's recently, prompting a discussion that I would
like to continue here.  Specifically, there was a RED stop sign on
a street in the movie.  I can recall that stop signs were YELLOW up
until the late 50's.  They were then changed to red.  I've had some
folks tell me I'm crazy, so perhaps the yellow stop sign was just
a local phenomenon in Pittsburgh, where I grew up.  Does anyone
else besides me remember yellow stop signs?
