"I've seen the neighborhood change since beatniks roamed the Earth."

At 84, the influential photographer known for his New York City streetscapes has come out with a new book devoted to images of signs.

An artist at RISD made these signs, but will they help?

"I started last year, it took 20 hours just to ride all the trains and see all the stops in Manhattan."

At least four youths have come to the support of Miley Cyrus, holding signs in Union Square that read: "We must worship Miley Cyrus! Twerking is good!"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.
