Today for the 30-Day Sign Coach4aday Challenge I am talking about ELM. Specifically, Elm Street.

There was a time when the Elm Tree dominated just about every street in America. Their popularity came to an end with Dutch Elm Disease beginning in Ohio and sweeping across the country.

When a particular tree lines so many streets it is easy to see why many communities adopted that as an official street name. In fact, even though it is no longer a shade tree stable the street name is still prevalent today. In fact, I live on North ELM Street.
