A treasure here on Earth

I found this barely legible old street sign still standing in Chatham and had to admire its tenacity.

Today the block-long street is known as Church Alley rather than Church Road. According to U.S. Census Date, "Church" is the 27th most common street name in the United States, with 4,031 instances. In case you're interested, the ten most common street names are Second, Third, First, Fourth, Park, Fifth, Main, Sixth, Oak and Seventh.
