Our county must be on a budget: there are places here that don't even have the "Welcome to" part!

I've driven through some very small towns. There was a sign with a name. Couple buildings and gone. Apparently I was supposed to be driving 30 through it and not 60. That sign was conveniently missing. Keep that in mind when traveling through Missouri.

That missing sign increases revenue for the town, they put it back up right after they give you a ticket

Road signs can cost a fortune.

I spend time in Vermont where there are a lot of very small towns. The one I visit the most has 1100 year round residents, one small country store, a few stop signs, no traffic lights, and two part time constables. The center of town is an intersection where VT rt 30, North St. and south St intersect. The speed limit goes from 50 to 30. That's it. It's a wonderfully bucolic town.

Hmm, North St and South St intersect...seems odd. Anyway, I guess not revealing the name will help keep it as charming as it is now😊

Keeps people guessing, but if you must know, look up Wells, Vt. and lake St. Catherine.
