This sign was seen on U.S. 98 in the town of Port Mayaca, Florida on the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee January 2004. I just had to have it. It would have been interesting to go in and talk with the people but the place was a bit on the "scary" side.
This is a common sign in the south Florida citrus & cattle belt around Lake Okeechobee. Cattle love to eat citrus. When citrus does not meet standards it will not be used (usually in the making of juice). Loads of oranges are driven into cattle areas and dumped on the ground. Cattle come from miles around. This sign says "citrus pulp" so it is advertising what remains after juice has been extracted from oranges. This is probably coming from a small time juice outfit since the large juicing operations run the peel & pulp thru evaporators producing citrus pellets that are sold for cattle food.
These signs were outside a small church in Okeechobee, Florida. We had never heard of "Christian" 7th Day Baptist. When we stopped to take these pictures a lady from the church came outside to see what we were doing. She explained that the church was Baptist that had services on Saturday instead of Sunday. Dah!
Above the entrance door to RC Otter's Restaurant on Captiva Island, FL. My Mother got a kick out of this sign.

Local fast food place in Clewiston, FL on Lake Okeechobee. I want to give this place a try after all where else can you get frog legs, gatortail, chicken, subs, burgers and seafood? There were just too many other places, maybe next time.

This just seemed funny to me. When I first saw the sign I told Joyce you can have either live crawfish or boiled crawfish but you can't have Live-Boiled Crawfish. Now that I look closer at the sign I suppose the different colors might mean either or.
Now this is the way the sign should read Boiled & Live Crawfish.
We saw this sign on the door of a Mens Clothing store in the Downtown Historic district of Bardstown, Kentucky. It wasn't a small sign either. It covered the entire bottom part of the entrance door.
Just outside the Kentucky town of Paducah we passed the small community of Possum Trot. That name just needed us to stop and take a picture. Can you imagine being from Possum Trot and someone asking you where your were from? Well, the misses and I are from Possum Trot Kentucky. Oh well, it was funny to us.
Missouri names their roads differently than most states. It is not a "bad" thing just different. We are used to seeing numbers on State Roads be numbers. Actually any system is just fine it is just not what we are used to seeing. These are just two examples.
This small town in north central Nebraska along State Road-12 had a population of two. At one time it was the smallest incorporated town in Nebraska with a population of 3 plus one dog and numerous cats. Obviously one is either deceased or departed.

This sign was above the entrance door to the Livestock Auction House in Fort Pierre, South Dakota.
