Narrative:
I was at the terminal ready for taxi. I was given instructions to taxi via charlie, kilo to runway 34. After turning around from facing the terminal, I couldn't see a 'C' taxiway sigh. I told ground control about this. He candidly admitted that mine was one of many complaints in this regard.
