Road Signs - Saturday Snapshots


In an era of GPS and driverless cars, I think it's fun to think about how motorists navigated in the past. Here's a Texas roadway sign from the late 1940s or early 1950s. That's my grandmother, standing at the intersection of Highway 67 and 220. Perhaps my Papaw had a road map in the glove compartment of his car (Mamaw never learned to drive), or maybe someone told him to take the Highway 220 cutoff to get to wherever he was going. I wonder why they stopped at this particular spot.

Cool photo, isn't it?

Saturday Snapshots - Pub Signs

In August 1999, my husband and I rented a flat in London for two weeks and used it as our home base to explore the city and surrounding countryside. Our BritRail passes definitely got a workout, and we had a great time!

Here are a few photos I took of the more interesting pub signs we came across on that vacation. We didn't sample beer or ale in every single pub, but we did hit a few! (Click on pictures to enlarge.)


Love the little piggy perched on the ledge of The Flying Pig.
The sign over the Bag O' Nails reminds me of Jack Sparrow!
Must be the braids in his beard.
The White Swan presented a more dignified entrance.
And Fuller's Ale & Pie House invited us in for "Sanctuary"
