Bring out the M*A*S*H signs; the tourists need 'em

There always seems to be someone looking at the signs up on the big poles at Mayfair, looking for places in the whole Grove, not just Mayfair. I think those signs may be outdated anyway, there is actually a pay phone behind one of the poles.

The signs never take anyone to where they want to go and Paul, the sunglasses guy, or I usually step in and ask people if they need help. They usually do and we hand them one of the Grove maps and then show them where things are.

One visitor asked for Commodore Plaza. Since it's not part of Mayfair, it is not on the sign at Mayfair. And I'm sure that someone on Commdore Plaza looking for Mayfair can't find that either.

This is a reason to have the M*A*S*H signs. We need these at all major intersections. They add color, are fun and will actually serve a purpose. Maybe the Grove map could be attached to the pole in some way, and people can pick up a map as they figure out where things are in the village.
