@Carlos--I completely agree. I'd seen this sign before without a camera, then last year I stumbled across it the very same weekend I bought a new camera and I just couldn't resist.

Marc+Turnley  Pro User  says:

actually it's got a brick side road.

make of that what you will.

btw, they recently took down this sign and replaced it with another. it still says Church and Gay, but they took down the "connector" part.

Actually, if it had said "Gay Church Connector" it would have been even sweeter.

Great find and a funny coincidence, but it's hardly ironic.

I have probably seen that sign a hundred times and never took any particular note of it. Now correct me if I am wrong, as I am now a proud desert rat, but isn't the 'new' gay district on church street just west of I-65? I say new as the last time I was in Nashville was 2003 and it didn't exist but Winter of 2006 the area was alive and well.

More ironically, church street is the gay district actually. All major gay bars and clubs are on this CHURCH street. :)

You wouldn't believe it... I was coming back from a concert at RCKTWN the other night and saw that sign... I just thought, "Man, that would make a good Flickr pic." Nice job!

Looking at google maps I noticed that Church st is absolutely straight while Gay St meanders and curves around and at its northern terminus looks vaguely like a phallic symbol
