Sign right here! Show me a sign that tickles my imagination and it's bound to get a photo taken of it.

Don't Leave Home Without It!  This vintage American Express sign is on the wall of the Blue Ridge Inn on Main Street in downtown Sylva.  I'll bet I drove by this sign a million times before really noticing it.  How cool is it?

Downtown Sylva hangs these attractive banners fom the lamp posts all along Main Street.  They add a welcoming touch to the town.

This little hot dog dude was so retro that I couldn't help stopping for the picture.  This is a hot dog stand and gold (so-called) exchange on East Main Street in Sylva, not far from Cody's Hot Spot - the gas station that I give most of my gas dollars to.

 Spiral Curve on the Blue Ridge Parkway | www.MoonDancerRealty.com

The morning that I drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway, I spotted the Spiral Curve sign just before, well...a spiral curve.  This was in Haywood County.  Don't you think Spiral Curve would be a great name for a rock band?

 

Sometimes I think its all about slowing down for a few minutes and looking around you with eyes wide open.  Photo ops are all around us and if you are open to it, the signs are all around you.

Mona - It is amazing how the simple act of Blogging can open your eyes to the world around you.  I started noticing 'the little things' when I started blogging a few years ago.  Nice post....like the pics!

Hi Anne, sometimes when we pass something every day, we don't even notice them.  Got to keep those eyes open!

Hello Denise, Thanks and yes, blogging really does make us notice and learn about a lot of stuff.

Hey Will, I'm glad you took the time to come see me! Have a wonderful night.

Hey Sheila, he is pretty funny, isn't he?  He's also very retro - you don't see that kind of kitschy marketing much anymore.  He sort of reminds me of the characters advertising the concession stand at the old drive-in movies.
