Welcome to Crescent City, Iconic Sign Welcomes Visitors for the 4th

You’ve all seen it, the iconic American flag metal heart-shaped marker located on the vacant southeast corner of 101 North and Elk Valley Rd.

Some years back an enthusiastic group of community image makers approached the rusty object, asked permission from the Rested family, owner of the parcel, and requested to beautify this not-so-attractive hunk of metal, the portal entering Crescent City. Permission granted and the Resteds even provided the Crescent Ace Hardware paint to re-do the marker. 

Over the years, the coastal climate took its toll…rust won over and the American flag toppled off its base and remained disabled on the ground. Sacrilege? Certainly not respectful. Community members asked and the Resteds’ and the family responded and resurrected Old Glory just in time for American’s 249th birthday. Thousands will travel to Crescent City to celebrate July 4th to be welcomed by the iconic monument.

Thank you Rested family for your pride in community.

Welcome to Crescent City everyone.
