In New Shoreham, on the outside wall of a building, is this direction sign, with a faded 'X' and arrow showing your location in Old Harbor on Block Island.

The sign is located on the south wall of a building near the intersection of Water Street and Chapel Street.

The sign is square, featuring an outline of Block Island. On the right side, about 2/3 of the way down, is a now white 'X,' with a long white arrow and the words above it, "You, Old Harbor" and "0 feet." Other arrows, in black, are pointing to several, sometimes near, sometimes far, locations. The destinations include: Southeast Lighthouse (on the island); North Light (on the Island); Timbuktu, Mali; Stonehenge, UK; Portland, Oregon; and Paradise, Alaska. The one closest to home is North Light at 4.4 miles - not even off the island.

My guess is that the arrow was some other color like blue or red that faded over time.
