I don't know ASL, so I don't know a sign for Detroit, Ann Arbor, or Oberlin
(my US places).
So I'm posting the sign for Kathmandu, the city where I learned to sign!

I am a West Coaster, and I must admit that people get East Coast city signs
mixed up along with our own city signs. But this is how I personally sign
the 4 commonly confused "B" cities, since I am very picky and have been
known to correct people at times. ;-) It seems to match what you sign, Kim.

 



Boston, Massachusetts

 



Baltimore, Massachusetts

 



Berkeley, California

 



Burbank, California

Hi everyone:
those of us in Boston, Massachusetts sign it thus:

and refer to Berkeley, CA thus:

But some of my signing friends tell me that when you're on the West Coast,
it's the other way around!
Best,
Kim from Boston

NAMES OF CITIES and STATES Around the World

 

Thank you, Ingvild, Charles and Stefan for your signs!

 

I would suggest that you add your signs to the International Sign Dictionary
online:

 

SignPuddle for International Signs Dictionary

http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=1
<http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/index.php?ui=1&sgn=35> &sgn=35

 

I just copied mine for La Jolla, California from the ASL Dictionary to the
International Dictionary, and I hope you can do the same for your signs too


 

And I hope more names of cities, states, countries and other international
signs can be added too


 

Here is what we have so far
and I really like all four spellings! Thanks to
you all


 

Val ;-)
