I have no idea what this sign is for. It's just sitting there beside the railroad crossing on 2nd Street. I noticed it had an extension cord running from it, with its end on the ground below a perfectly placed plug on a loading dock. So, naturally, I plugged it in. A moment later, the real sun came out.

I really like this, the fact you plugged it in is hysterical. The Railroad crossing gates and the electrical wires just add to it. Good stuff!

Thanks, Tom & Jean! I might not have plugged it in if my friend wasn't there, encouraging me. We were scouting out potential locations for a shoot the next weekend. He tried to frame some shots of it, too, but his 85mm lens made it awkward.

To keep this post relevant to the thread, here's a sign from an abandoned produce market nearby.

The hardest job here must be writing out the menu

Jackalope on the menu. Wonder they can get enough to meet demand.

Just in case you were thinking of driving down there.

This one is open, unless it's muddy...

Can a horse be an "unauthorized vehicle" I wonder?

Yes, if it the rider takes it into a Seven Eleven convenience store like Our friend Wayne did when he was a teenager.

I didn't know Howard Johnson's still existed. Looks as if they are economizing on the advertising budget though.

There's a large HoJo motel locally, but no restaurant, although they had one decades back that subsequently was demolished
