Hey ... there's a corner of Chestnut and Columbus in San Francisco ... 
coincidence?

BTW: I revisit old images from time to time as well ... when I learn 
something or a technique I didn't know before.

When/where was/is the older version? would be nice to compare. Good stuff!

Yes, I regularly revisit older scenes too.

Taylor St. is not on the signpost. It's a three street intersection in 
SF.

isn't that a third sign viewed edge-on under the columnus sign?

Nice image BTW. The signs look a bit artificial, maybe due
to a combination of being very clean, partly oversaturated
and suffering from some aliasing.

should have been "columbus" as I'm sure everyone correctly guessed ;)

Yes the 3rd sign is viewed on edge so it's not seen very well, but it's there.
I've been trying to make the signs look less artificial; it's a little tough.

Try some weathering on the textures. An easy change that can make a big impact.
Most things in real life have some variation in their coloring / dents / dings /
grime / bird @&#!.. you get the point. =)

The signs also look 2-dimensional.  Perhaps some thickness will help.
