90s Target Highway Sign
WEEK 35 – Carrollton, GA, Target (V)
Our last shot for this week takes us over to the left-hand edge of the parking lot, which butts up right against GA-166/US-27 Alt, for a look at the appropriately interstate-sized high-rise sign for the store. Believe it or not, this was also my first time encountering one of these; although they would still have been in use at the time the Horn Lake store was built, that Target location shares its interstate sign with the rest of the shopping center, so it doesn’t have the traditional 90s red pylon support poles or rounded-corner square sign to it (although you can still see hints of those things in the design, if you examine it closely). Thankfully, Carrollton’s sign here survived the remodel, but not without a makeover of its own; nowadays, the color scheme is inverted – white poles and red square – and the bullseye icon is joined, of course, by the lowercase “target” wordmark that I really don’t care for. (Check out that cool bike trail in the street view, too – I had forgotten about that!)
We’re getting very, very close to the end of this album, but there are still just a handful more pics I want to share with you, including an oddity on the other side of this very sign. Join me two Tuesdays from now for those final five pics! In the meantime, next week – quelque chose de nouveau et d'excitant…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
