Once, we suspect, this was the Bugs Bunny Motel until a lovely letter from Warner Bros's lawyers arrived. West Colfax in Denver. That rabbit is THEE ugliest frickin thing I've seen in a while.
Norwalk, CA. Of course I find the newer sign addition obviously out-of-sync with the original design, and wonder why they felt it necessary. Demolished.
A sign at he Paradise Pier area in Disney California Adventure. I'm not sure if it's the beach theme, or the colours, but it's one of my favourite corners in the park.

Sedona
Located in Arizona's high desert under the towering southwestern rim of the vast Colorado Plateau, the city of Sedona is blessed with four mild seasons marked by abundant sunshine and clean air. Ideally, the annual average high and low temperatures are 74.7 and 45.7 degrees, respectively.
Almost the entire world knows that Sedona, strategically situated at the mouth of spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, is a unique place. Characterized by massive red-rock formations, as well as the contrasting riparian areas of Oak Creek Canyon, the area surrounding this beloved community is considered at least as beautiful as many national parks.
The story about how Sedona was named is well known; nonetheless, a brief telling is appropriate. As the story goes, after Theodore Carl Schnebly and his wife, Sedona, moved to Sedona from Gorin, Missouri, the few families living here convinced T.C. to establish a post office in his large home, which already had become the community's hotel. Various interpretations of this story suggest that he asked the government to name the post office Schnebly Station or Red Rock Crossing. Subsequently, he was told the names were too long, and following a suggestion by his brother, Dorsey Ellsworth Schnebly, he submitted his wife's name, Sedona. And so it was.
The city of Sedona, one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort, retirement and art centers, was incorporated in 1988. Historically, it was a rural ranching community located far off the beaten path, but its unsurpassed natural beauty became nationally known through the motion picture industry. Today, commercials and television shows still are filmed in the unsettled areas surrounding this city, which annually attracts more than 4 million tourists from around the world.
Pacific Grove -California
Point Pinos Lighthouse ist der zweitälteste und zugleich der am längsten dauerhaft in Betrieb befindliche Leuchtturm an der kalifornischen Pazifikküste. Das bei Pacific Grove gelegene Schifffahrtszeichen wurde im Februar 1855 in Betrieb genommen und dient seither als Navigationshilfe am südlichen und durch seine Felsen besonders gefährlichen Eingang der Bucht von Monterey.
Point Pinos Lighthouse was lit on February 1, 1855, to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States and even the lens is original.
Seen in Explore! Wow, this was my first Explore pic ever. How awesome is that. Thanks for all the interest and comments.
I found this sign at a business in Outback NSW, the proprietor was a genial man, even if it wasn't my day.

This is the first that I have saw of this Radio Shack logo on an actual sign!

Roger Dewhurst writes a monthly article in the Parish News (see Community) on the flora and fauna he has seen in the village in the previous month. He has written this article describing a year in the village.
Bolton-by-Bowland is not only a great place to live but also a wonderful place to visit. The village is situated in lovely varied countryside which is best explored by the network of footpaths which take you alongside its rivers, becks, woods and both lowland fields and upland pastures. A number of books have been written describing walks from the village. These and also relevant maps of the area can be purchased at the Post Office in the village centre near the car park.
The seasons play a big part in the life of the countryside; this is especially true with regard to the wildlife. February sees the arrival of lapwings, curlews and oyster catchers, fresh from their winter around the coasts of Britain. Most of the lapwings will disperse to breed in the upland fields but some will remain, along with the curlews whose bubbly song will delight us throughout the summer. Oyster catchers still nest on their traditional shingle beds alongside the becks but of recent years, have enjoyed more success nesting in the fields.
Spring is a wonderful time to explore the area, the hedgerows and fields revealing delightful displays of flowers. Primroses, a declining species in much of Britain, are still plentiful, to be replaced as spring progresses by vast carpets of bluebells. Then as spring merges into summer, the traditional hay meadows and pastures become a sea of yellow buttercups – a wonderful sight.
Our common resident birds, having enjoyed a series of mild winters, are abundant. Species like blackbird, chaffinch, wren and, to a lesser extent, song thrush, breed in profusion. But perhaps one of the specialities of the area is the redstart. These birds take up their territories often within easy walking distance of the village. There is no finer sight than a newly arrived male redstart resplendent in spring breeding plumage declaring his territory from atop a freshly liveried oak tree.
Ospreys pass through the area as they migrate further north but among the early breeders we have goosanders, herons, dippers and, in some years, kingfishers. As June and summer arrive, so too do the last of the summer migrants; the spotted flycatcher whose weak song can be heard along with another quintessential sound of summer in an English village – the sound of bat on ball as another cricket season gets under way. Visitors viewing the game from the bridge might be distracted by the fish swimming below or the antics of wagtails both grey and pied as they feed their newly fledged young. Overhead swifts scream about the sky or zoom under the eaves of the old cottages where they nest.
And so summer moves into autumn, perhaps the first sign being the horse chestnut trees on the Green whose golden yellow tints signify to the local lads that the conkers are ready. A walk in the area at dusk in October and you might be forgiven in thinking that the spirit of Old Mother Demdike and her fellow Pendle Witches had returned as a thrice repeated scream shatters the peaceful scene. But no, it’s only the local sika deer as the rutting season gets under way and the stags gather their harems together.
By now the countryside is quiet, the chorus of bird song long since ended. The migrants have returned to their winter quarters to be replaced by the arrival of birds from the far north like fieldfares and redwings who stay with us for the winter. The local owls, both tawny and little, now become vocal with the onset of winter as does the fox, whilst badger runs can be detected if looked for carefully.
And so we have travelled through a year in the life of this beautiful countryside around Bolton-by-Bowland; a wonderful place to live or visit at any time of the year.

I do not ever recall seeing the word 'area' before to describe an exit's destination.

No one likes to put out money for gas. When I saw this decal on a car's gas cover in a parking lot, I had to whip out my cell phone for a photo. (With my Smart Car I need to read my gas gauge once a month to see if fuel is needed yet.)
Wow, I haven't seen a Dawn Donuts sign in many years, but yet, here's a complete one (well, missing the neon) just sitting there, trying to woo me with a tray of donuts. Oh, if this would only fit in my truck, and if I could have only convinced Lonnie's boss to let me... umm, liberate it.
(More from my visit with Lonniec61 @ the sign company where he works)
