A couple of sharp eyed blogites noted this past week a curious edition to the tombstone sign at the Community Center*, namely the compass rose. You may have noticed the prominent position of the rose on the city monuments, part of the upgrade by the EAGC. There was early discussion about what elements to display on the monuments, the traditional lake outline was rejected in favor of the compass rose. Apparently the Park Board has adopted the rose as well. There wasn't any mention of the move during the last BOA (Park Board report) so it is unknown who/how the new design element was added to at least one of the Park Board signs.
*(the rose has been added to the park signs @ Thompson, King and Birmingham parks as well)

Shame they abandoned the lake outline. Would have at least made the signs look a bit unique to WL. I don't know...the compass rose alone seems so familiar. Oh yeah, now I remember. Two miles up the road at Zona Rosa it's used on every street pole or vertical surface that exists. Shame we couldn't be more creative with a basically good idea.
How does 'Zona Rosa, Missouri' sound? Let's just change the name of the city to match our signs.
nah, this is more of Paul Gross'work.
