HARWICH The big green Exit 11 sign on U.S. Route 6 has always signaled home to Kathleen Giorgio.
Wen she was growing up, it was the exit she and her family took every summer when they came to Chatham on vacation. Year after year, they stayed in the same cottage. The charm of the old sign grew when her parents retired and bought a home in Chatham. When she and her husband, Mike, began a life together on the Cape, the sign took on the feeling of home.
It s also become the inspiration for a new business venture.
One September night in 2019, Giorgio pulled off to the side of the highway in the rain and snapped a shot of the sign. EXIT 11 was spelled out in big white letters, with a white arrow pointed right at the exit ramp. When she got home, she told her husband she wanted to put the sign on a baseball cap.
