Funky Store And Road Signs
Posted on | September 17, 2009 | 11 Comments
When my husband and children were showing me their photos from their road trip this past summer, they found this collection of funky store and road signs uproariously funny. Their collection started with this incongrous mixture of food and fighting taken in Butte.
I’m 100% sure that BigB’s love of Harry Potter came into play when he described this sign as “Centaurs Crossing”.
This one needs no explanation.
Both boys were fascinated by this 1940s advertisement extolling the benefits of DDT as shown at one of the excellent ranger talks they attended.
A visit to Yreka to take a photo in front of the Yreka Bakery sign was deemed a necessary side trip by my word-game-loving trio. There isn’t actually an operating business of this name in Yreka but when one of the boys spotted this sign on the wall of a cafe, he called out: “Aha Dad, Yreka Bakery. Dad, Aha!”

These ARE funny! Of course the Ho-made Pie sign is great, but I think I like the Centaurs Crossing the best!

I don’t know if the Ho-Made pie sign…or the advertisement “DDT is good for me-e-e!” takes the prize for strangest find. They’re all pretty funny, though. Thanks for the morning’s chuckle!

These are great! We also take pictures of funny signs when we travel. My husband and I try to be the one that finds the “best” sign while on vacation!

Hilarious. I wonder how many people are brave enough to eat ‘terminal food’.

My favourite is the Centaurs Crossing sign, but they are all very funny and quirky.

Yes – I remember your earlier posts about their trip – it sounds like they had a great time. My favorite part of all this though, is how cool it was that they managed said roadtrip themselves! Can you line up some of those tours for my kids? 😉
