There's an earthy urbanity to this one given the sign, the buildings that were built for function rather than form or beauty, and the roadway implied by the street sign.

Nice and simple sign, and some red too.

Janice Dunn		25-Feb-2013 04:51
Or, you can buy online too.

The kind of a sign that we all respond to .... in one way or another. A thought-provoking photo capture in these current days of economic stress!

Entering Americana.

It has a quite sadness that is visually very strong. ~V~

J S Quesada		24-Feb-2013 18:53

intriguing red sign in a sombre atmosphere

Alain Boussac		24-Feb-2013 06:44
I agree with Jane, and great game with the multitude of lines of the disorder with the background too. V.

A gray day brightened up by your red find!

Dismal day and billboard stands out nicely against the grey sky and drab buildings. Great entry for the challenge!

joanteno		24-Feb-2013 00:18
Americana would be a great theme

globalgadabout		23-Feb-2013 23:17
the very bleakness here has a strong impact..

carol j. phipps		23-Feb-2013 22:59
Bright billboard.

Fablously ugly urban scene! V

Sad sad in America.

cool sign!

reminds me of a great blues song... very nice Karen.

LynnH		23-Feb-2013 20:47
Great with those big red diamonds on the sign! I bet the 'crossroads' was called such a long time before all this was built. V

Helen Betts		23-Feb-2013 20:35
Such a very a very American scene, nicely captured. I wonder what you can apply for online? V.
