Ain’t that sleazy?
Later, Susan populates the town with signs before the allowed date. Goldbeck is not in a safe seat in her bid for Mayor. So when she loses, the saying is We’re Loosin Susan.

What’s the business with less credibility than used car sales?
Yep, the Magic Carpet business. Sale Signs that scream “LOST OUR LEASE”, “GOING OUT OF BUSINESS” or “LIQUIDATION SALE” are common either in print ad or on the store front.
See, every one of them does it, here is P.G.’s own:
No fewer than 11 signs shouting “REMODELING SALE”, right at the crossroads of the downtown. They win the prize for tacky storefront, formerly held by 17th Street Grill for the year round X-mas lights.
About 3 months later, the signs came down and the windows were covered with butcher paper. Later the store boasted a new front door. Some remodel.
Spotted this sign, pimping the town to the trail walkers, surrey drivers and motorists that are not watching the road:
Historic? Did Poncho Villa sleep here? Minds sprung into action and have come up with a few alternates:
Truth in advertising.
The land barons’ sign.
Imported phony charm.
Goes with the ‘charm’.
Local wildlife.
Emergency Preparedness, part 1.
Emergency Preparedness, part 2.
Cartoon characters ala amusement parks.
Kind of early to start the Christmas season, but pimping our town is something we do best.
The icky little lights are up in the trees. Was better when garland banners stretched across the street.
Now the icicle lights on many stores year-round are finally in season.
And we await the always interesting Holiday Parade Of Lights.
What’s with all the X-Mas lights staying up all year round?
They are everywhere – Holman Building, Victorian Corner, PG Nutrition, PG Plaza, 17th Street Grill, Monte Cafe, etc. While they may communicate some hint of a business being open, THEY LOOK LIKE JUNK AND ARE UNSAFE. You leave those up in the open air and sunlight the insulation will soon crack and expose 110 volts.
Some may even contribute to the hazards by draping the wires over sharp edges.

Nazism? Foul four letter words? I’d donate to a fund that would give these folks a free trip to Baghdad to set up the same educational effort to the enemy.
Had this book from Popular Science that was all about cement, rock, brick and concrete. Never pinpointed location of the house used in the book.
But I recognized it, even after it’s remodel;
