• California installs colorful welcome signs across the state (fox40.com) — Drivers entering California at Blythe will start seeing a more colorful gateway monument as the state replaces older “Welcome to California” signs with regionally themed versions. The new markers, part of the Clean California beautification push, are designed as photo‑friendly landmarks and symbols of pride at major entry points, including the Arizona border.
