Imagine, if you will, a wayward driver, seeking services along our gravel road. It's a DEAD END, you know. So hopefully he would see that sign right away.
Then again, he might believe he was actually capable of getting a CAR WASH by driving through that people-door. He might even stop to put chains on his car tires, seeing as how the car wash is on the SNOW ROUTE.
What if that driver wanted an 89-cent POLAR POP? While two signs proclaim this to be a CIRCLE K convenience store, there are definitely no polar pops inside. Not even if they're on a snow route. Oh, and he'd better be careful not to park there on the FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH. Because it looks like that's the day this space is reserved for flying saucers. Not sure, but that's the best I can read of the NO PARKING sign.
He'd better not be peckish, either, because there are no snacks to buy, despite the FOOD MART promise(s).
I'm a bit concerned that this wall still has space available...
That's actually a nice looking side in spite of all the signs. It's neat and the yard directly in front is tidy, weed and rubbish free. I think anyone spotting all those signs would realise this is the home of a sign collector and not be fooled into looking for a carwash.
ReplyDeleteHick has it painted and trimmed. So it looks neat enough. I imagine he has been over there with the weed spray since he took this picture. It also looks like he finally put that pile of gravel to use, that he just HAD TO HAVE last year when he bought the power-washer the same day.
DeleteI can't guarantee that people out here would not be fooled about a car wash...
Oh, yes, I was thinking that exact thought. I have an old sign I bought at a flea market hanging over the door to our pantry. It says "Tomatoes".
ReplyDeleteApparently, Hick doesn't have a sign that says "Tomatoes," or it would be on the front of his Freight Container Garage.
DeleteMaybe you should hang your sign over your tomatoes. Just in case, you know, that somebody doesn't know what they are.
This owuld right up our grandson's alley. I think it is attractive. Well eye catching. There are couple guys who get wind of these old signs and travel cross country to buy them. Tell Hick to watch out. Or man=ybe you better look out. He might join thema nd bring home more.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the best description would be BREATHTAKING. Hick would love to be a "picker" and travel the country buying up all signs ever abandoned. Your grandson is probably spry enough to beat Hick to the best ones!
