This classic neon sign hangs on the corner of Terry Bentz' Buick dealership in Marseilles,IL. I only wished it had been lit.

nrhp # 76002014- The Point (Port) Isabel Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Port Isabel, Texas, United States that was built in 1852 to guide ships through the Brazos Santiago Pass to Port Isabel. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1976.
On September 28, 1850, the United States Congress authorized an appropriation of $15,000 for "a lighthouse and beacon light" at Brazos Santiago Pass. Work began in February 1852. When complete, the lighthouse was an 82-foot-high brick tower and had four lights. By 1854, it had 15 lamps and 21 reflectors. A third order fresnel lens was installed in 1857 [2] and the fixed light was varied by flashes.
During the American Civil War the Point (Port) Isabel Lighthouse was occupied by soldiers from both sides as a look-out post. After the Civil War, the lighthouse was refitted and returned to operation in 1866. In 1888, the light was temporarily discontinued as claimants proved that the United States government did not have title to the land, forcing the government to condemn the land in 1894 to acquire title. On July 15, 1895, the light returned to use. It operated for ten years, after which time it was extinguished in 1905. On Sept. 20, 1927, the government sold the lighthouse and land. A local citizen purchased it. In the late 1940s, a movement began to save the lighthouse as a historic site. On October 5, 1950, the Texas State Park Board accepted the lighthouse and surrounding land as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Lon C. Hill, Jr., the owners at the time.
The Texas State Park Board began restoring the lighthouse in 1951, and it was opened to the public in 1952.
Today the lighthouse is operated as Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site. In September 1996, a new visitors center was completed.
The site is owned by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department but operated by the City of Port Isabel.

just quickly dropping by to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.
Heading out to watch my granddaughter go trick-or-treating and take a few pictures, and then grabbing a quick bite to eat so that Larry and I can come home, cuddle up, and watch "Young Frankenstein"!
If your out and about be extra careful while driving!
Let's make sure all our little ghosts and goblins stay safe!

I couldn't help wondering if I'd stumbled across some kind of Island of Doctor Moreau type animal experimentation lab.

Sign in front of the Battle House at Rocky Mount Mills. Reads "Est. 1818 - Light Department - Main Office."
This picture was taken in the heart of Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Surely these signs are the work of the man who created this display (which moved a few miles up the road at some point -- but still in rural Copiah County, not in a town).
View looking south. That's Amaret Street over there to the left, and US 1 to the right. Charles Street in the foreground behind the sign.
I'm sure that mastercard is good for their business, but it sure makes for crummy pictures. How about that super-professional 'TV' paint job? For some reason, the tower thing looks to me like something that belongs in an Italian restaurant. If you are planning a trip to the Burley, Idaho area, the Parish looks like it'd be a nice place to stay.
