That brings up a couple of thoughts:

1. Did he get the place cheap?

2. What moron or sadistic so and so in government was responsible?

...........


The Knoxville, TN area has a couple of odd street names:

Rush Limbaugh Lane -- only right turns allowed.

Jim Jones Lane -- the sign at the entrance says, "Dead End."

No, I didn't make those up. OK, just the bit about the turns.

2. What moron or sadistic so and so in government was responsible?

There are normally committees of morons making these decisions.

Boyd is a small town and I think it started as just Hitt Street. Then they renamed the north and south portions...then the abbreviation...then they made street signs with the "S" so close to the "Hitt" that you can't help but see the double entendre. If I was on the city council, I'd say they should use the abbreviation "So." or spell out "south." But alas! They are the butt of many jokes.

I wish I had a camera with me at the time, but alas, I didn't.

Large billboard type sign for a combination filling station and restaurant in Fort Stockton, Texas: Eat Here and Get Gas.

There's one of those in Indiana, too; I've passed it many times! (sorry, couldn't resist)

When I was learning to drive a truck(27 years ago) there was a sign on the route in front of a mini wharehouse that was set back off the road. The business in front was a septic tank business and they had all those new septic tanks lined up right under the sign. Made you think about what kind of mini storage they were running. Picture was taken but no telling where it went by now, pre-digital, from a 110 instamatic.

Out on a country road a mile or 2 from me somebody parked an old mustang in their front yard up by the road.
The drivers door was left open about 6 inches and the window left down 2 or 3 inches.
Over the years a tree grew up between the inside of the door and the rocker panel and then on up and out through the open window.
The only way to ever move the car is to saw the tree off at the ground and saw the trunk off on both sides of the window glass and door.
The car sat there for years with a 4 to six inch diameter tree growing through it.
I will have to drive over there some time and see if it's still sitting there.

Did not have a camera... but it would have been worth the trip home to get the shot.

"Hillsville's Heath Fair" and, on the same sign; as an incentive to get people to come to it... "Hot Dog Sale".
