notes:
I first recall seeing this sign about 1978. It was new then, the business was going well, and traffic was heavy even then in this area. Now, many years later, the sports store is long been defunct, but still the sign is there despite it`s rapidly deterioating condition and being encompassed by vines and growth. The sign will be gone soon , for it is my understanding that a road "widening" project is near . So goes the sign and in comes "More Pavement"

Am I right in saying that you like a kind of "graveyard" motif - meant as a compliment! Like derelict houses, signs, abandoned cars, old or neglected tombstones and monuments and, some people? I feel you are making very strong social comments and I hope people take notice of your hard work.
