If the image doesn't tell the story, there is no story. That's it.

Not at all. There can be all kinds of background that is not captured by the camera and make the image important in some form. For example, "This sign was shot up during a fire-fight between Bonny & Clyde and local law enforcement."

How did someone from Minn photograph a "Route 66" {which went southwest from Chicago to Los Angeles} sign over a weekend? Is this in some museum for some reason?

Take a look: old, rusted, used up, just like Route 66. I think it tells its story very well. A good photo can tell its story without explanation, and I think this one does.

I agree, there doesn't have to be a story behind every photo!!

You are right, however, if picture or photograph has a story, it is interacting with me and I keep repeatedly keep looking at it. For example, pictures of Norman Rockwell. They talk to you. If there is no story, you glance at it and in 5 seconds you don't know what you have seen.

That's quite a sign. If someone restored that, it would lose its personality.
