Re: Signs, back in the day
Modern one. The tip jar on the counter at my local liquor store reads: 401K. Pretty funny from the Syrian guys that run it, and it's always flowing over, so clever marketing indeed.

Re: Signs, back in the day
I was a kid in Oglesby, IL, the street signs were 4x4 concrete obelisks about 4' high. The paint faded and had to be restencilled every year or two. Probably replaced by now.

Re: Signs, back in the day
1970s Tampa, the older neighborhoods had those same concrete sign posts.
I loved them. 1990s Jacksonville FL there were a very small number of them still remaining in old neighborhoods.

Re: Signs, back in the day
Does it count if they're still in view? These are still up at the Texas Tavern in Roanoke VA:
We don't take checks, and we don't handle bumblebees. And: Yes, ladies do enjoy eating here! Funkiest little place you'll probably ever see, and best chili ever, at least according to The Champ, Cassius Clay/Muhammed Ali who wanted it to get a Michelin Star! |

Re: Signs, back in the day
I remember a ranch w/two barns, the sign on one barn said "Horse Barn", the sign on the other barn said "The Udder Barn".

Re: Signs, back in the day
When I was a kid we lived in the buildings that had been a "Toll Gate." If some local asked where we lived we said "The Tool Gale." Out of area plate or accent we would say "Healy Toll Gate." Didn't really matter, it was the only Toll Gate for 50 miles. It had been built in 1889 by Donald Healy, on his road from Horshoe Bend to Boise Idaho, which was a dirt road named Cartwright Road, Still exists in parts, but private property. Hwy 55 is 3 miles west of it on Spring Creek. Used to be Spring Valley Ranch, is now Aviemore area of Eagle.

Re: Signs, back in the day
That was the book.Since covid names seem to escape me for a few minutes.The oddest thing is that when I think of somebody,I will usually only recall their first or last name,but not both at the same time.Then it pops up in my head a minute later.

Re: Signs, back in the day
Saw this yesterday. Probably before 1915 when the Model T can out with electric lights. At the Mast General Store, founded 1880.

Re: Signs, back in the day
I've seen this one in a couple of stores, not exactly vintage but still cute:
"Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten."
