I thought that it would be fun to do signs as that is something I do a lot of especially going into the parks. Would like to see what signs can be found from all of you. Have a few to get you started.

A little gross, but a real place. I found these signs near Springfield, Mo. The place is actually close to an army base called Fort Leonard Wood. I was on the interstate when I saw these signs I had to backtrack about eight miles to shoot the pictures.

Hi, Agnes! Here are three signs from 70 years ago. The first was in Berchtesgaden, Hitler's favorite Alpine resort, so the U.S. Army Military Government office there had special significance. The MG officer apparently used a local sign painter who chose the Gothic letter style favored by the Nazis. My guess is that the officer was unfamiliar with typography. The second sign marks the main entrance of the Frankfurt radio station of the American Forces Network, which had a large German audience as well because they liked the music and tried to learn English to get jobs with the American forces. The studios were located in a medieval castle, but were later relocated to more modern facilities. Those guards were Polish displaced persons. The third image is not mine, but from the Nuremberg Trials files, That is the most infamous, horrible sign ever made, for it marked the entrances of the Nazi concentration and death camps involved in the Holocaust. "Arbeit Macht Frei" means "Work Will Set You Free."
A Nazi sign painter in Berchtesgaden used same style for U.S. Army signs - 1946
American Forces Network radio station occupied a medieval castle - 1947
Sign greeting concentration camp victims in WW II

Good challenge Agnes. I thought I would attach a photo of a stop sign that isn't used much anymore. It is a stop sign in a flooded man made reservoir that stands above the water line. There are still roads and other remnants of the old town underneath the water.

Ask and you shall receive. Here are a couple of signs. lol #1 was taken outside a restaurant near Flagstaff, Arizona on Route 66. #2 was taken in Albuquerque, NM. #3 was in Las Vegas. BTW... Great show if you are looking for something to do. #4, I remember well. My wife and I just exited viewing the Ta Ricotta Warriors exhibit with a tour group. While taking this picture the group went into a restaurant for lunch. We (my wife and I) didn't see where they went. By the time the group realized that we were missing we had wondered off looking for them. Fortunately for us we didn't go far and our friends founds us. From that moment on we stuck to them like glue.
