I love it when utilitarian messages are made more interesting with color and that hand-painted ingenuity.

I have to know. Don’t you?
You know, sometimes the unexpected messages created by signage in our landscape just makes me laugh. It happens haphazardly with the simple proximity of mixed messages. We train ourselves to view each messaged sign separately, but sometimes they inadvertently overlap. Mixed message: Come and see. Only, don’t park to do it.

Another creative specimen of hand-painted text. Another BBQ joint in Mississippi. And another spelling of our favorite food group!

There is no “sign of life” in Mississippi quite like the signs for bar-be-que. While there may be a discrepancy in how to SPELL bbq, you can scarcely find a small pond that doesn’t have at least one joint devoted to this Southern delicacy. And, invariably, the signs outside are just as lovingly created as the “special” sauces.
