Every time I drove past this sign on my way home it put a smile on my face.
It's not big and it's not clever but it is funny!
As with most religious places, there is a dress code to enter the Sultanahmet mosque. This sign says it all. Despite the cold, I did see some folks in shorts and a fair bit of skin in others. (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
Whoa! Quite the pile-o-signage! I'd like to see this lit up at night.
You know, Budget Host is becoming a fave of mine. They allow little Mom-n-Pop motels to have the purchasing power of the bigger chains, and most BH motels I've stayed in were pretty decent. They also rate their members with "lanterns", 1 to 4. You won't find that with Best Western or Days Inn, where you can find some really sucky properties with no warning from their corporate websites.
This place? They get three lanterns.
Benson is a city in Arizona, 45 miles east-southeast of Tucson. It was founded in 1880 as a rail terminal for the area, when the Southern Pacific Railroad came through. The city was named after Judge William B. Benson, a friend of Charles Crocker, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The Southern Pacific, coming overland from California, chose the Benson site to cross the San Pedro River. Benson then served as a rail junction point to obtain ore and refined metal by wagon, in turn shipping rail freight back to the mines at Tombstone, Fairbank, Contention and Bisbee. The railhead in Benson was about 25 miles from Tombstone, and was the closest rail connection to it until 1882, when a feeder line was laid from Benson to Contention City.
Hub TV, W. Davis, Oak Cliff, Dallas Texas. Photo taken in Dec. 94.
I believe this little retail center on Davis is still standing. Hub TV moved out to Lancaster for a few years but I believe it is now out of business.

The street sign located at the corner of Canal & Baltimore Streets, Cumberland, Allegany County, Maryland, United States.
Canal & Baltimore Streets are in the heart of the Downtown Cumberland Maryland Historic District.
More information:
The Downtown Cumberland Historic District, also referred to as the Downtown Cumberland Mall, is the main shopping and dining district for the city of Cumberland, Maryland.
The district is located in the heart of the downtown area along Baltimore Street, the formerly the main thoroughfare through the city. Baltimore Street is now a brick pedestrian mall. The street is lined with large multistory commercial buildings, most of which were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These buildings, which were formerly banks, hotels, and department stores, are relics of the city's former wealth and importance during the industrial age. They now contain tourist oriented businesses such as sidewalk cafes, antique stores, boutiques and art galleries. Baltimore Street hosts some of the city’s biggest sidewalk festivals and block parties. In the warmer months the weekly Farmers Market will draw hundreds downtown and often evenings there will be activities such as outdoor dining with live music or block parties.

In the past I would have tried to get this shot without the telephone lines and stop light, but this time I actually tried to get as much of that in the shot as possible.
Welcome to Florida sign (a common picture around here) at the Florida welcome center along I-95 southbound in Yulee. The only reason these welcome signs are even here is because people were pulling off of I-95 on the shoulder for portraits of them in front of the sign! So to keep motorists from pulling off the highway, FDOT put these signs up at the welcome center.
Plaque reads:
"RED BRIDGE
BUILT BY COUNTY OF HASTINGS
A.D. 1913
JAMES MOORE. REEVE
JUDSON A. GUNTER. CHAIRMAN
LUCIUS E. ALLEN. C.E. ENGINEER"

In the 7th century, Irish monks invented the word. Today, roughly 1400 years later, some graphic designers think they can do without it …
The Romans had hardly been separating their written words by visual means. If at all, they did so with small dots centered on the cap height. The Irish scribes started to consequently separate words from each other with spaces that appear larger than before. The reason why this worked out so well is that the script they wrote, a further developed roman uncial, was written with a stroke width which is much wider that that of the roman capitals or the roman cursive script. Now each word built a rhythmical pattern which, on its turn, enhances the effect of the spaces.* From this time, it had become possible to create words as visual units with the Latin script. Several authors on this subject, such as André Gürtler, Jost Hochuli and Gerrit Noordzij have come to this conclusion in their literature on the history of the Latin script. Gerrit Noordzij suggests that the main reason why the Word spread throughout Europe so quickly is that the Irish scribes invented the graphic principle to represent it.**

Final version of this piece. I was hoping you could make out the letters and stitching a little better in this! And Yeah, I put it on the sidewalk to take the pic.
This place was closed up but there were some dumpsters around that looked like someone might be fixing it up.

people look towards their leaders for direction..... that leaves the leaders with very important responsibilities for the country....... their leadership takes the nation through all the twists and turns..... in case of Bangladesh, the political road had hardly been straight...
